Not wanting to eat.

Good Morning All,

I have a question for you.  I am finding myself not wanting to eat.  I am still eating by the clock because I have no hunger(thank you rny).  I do not miss having the hunger or craving for food.  I  am worried though.  At this point I would be happy just drinking my protein and other liquids.  Is this a normal stage??  I do make sure I eat 3 to 4 meals but it is a chore and I eat less than a
1\2 cup.  I do watch my calories and take in around 700 to 900. 

Thanks for your input.

Cheryl,

For me that was normal at that stage.  I went through a period where it was a 'chore' to eat and quite frankly I just didn't have an interest in food.  But that changed so enjoy the tihe time while it's happening.  I had some of my best weight loss during those few months.  But it does go away - at least it did for me.  I'm now 10 months out and I am now feeling hunger and my body tells me when I need to eat instead of me feeding it because I know it's time to eat.  From my experience, it's a phase that will pass.

Take care,
Nan

Well, Cheryl, one of us is not normal!  I find myself getting hungry and wanting to eat.  Sunday we went to a brunch buffet.  The only thing I got was a chunk of prime rib, probably at least 10 ounces.  It was about 3/4 - 1" thick and medium rare.  Yum.  Well, I thought I'd eat until I got 'the feeling' that I had had enough.  The feeling never came and I ate it all.  I was really surprised, and now terrified, because I was able to eat so much.  Didn't get sick, didn't get 'the feeling' nothing told me to stop, not even common sense.  I was truly enjoying the meat.  I didn't eat for the rest of the day, so probably I got enough protein in for the day, but IMO too much at one time.  If I were you Cheryl, I'd not worry.  Enjoy the phase you're in.  I'm sure you're still losing quite regularly.  
I went to the doctor today, and I got my 1" back.  They measured me at 5'6" again!  Yeah.  I'm 2 lbs from my doctor's goal for me and 27 lbs from my own personal goal.  Hopefully by my 1 year anniversary I'll be down those 27 pounds.

Sounds like a very doable goal Jan!

I concur with you. I find myself being eleven weeks out from rny to not having the desire to eat. I want to eat but when I go to the freezer or fridge, I instantly lose my tastebuds. Last night I ate a half teaspoon of mashed potatoes and threw the rest away. I really need help in this area because my protein intake has been extremely low.
