Anyone else have this problem?

I just don't want to eat.. the thought of putting food in my mouth makes me gag.. I'm never hungry... and have to force myself to take those important 3 or 4 bites of food. I'm getting my calcium chews in.. and my iron etc... and drinking my water... but I have just lost the desire to eat... The "head hunger" has long since vanished... Dr R told me to drink the protien shakes to make sure I'm getting enough in... Anyone else?

Yes I am having the same problem I don't hardly ever feel hungry so it is so easy to skip meals. I am drinking a protein powder that I got from GNC with 8oz of skim milk plus it totals 35 so I try and drink two a day so I get in enough protein. I can eat pretty much anything I want without getting sick,but I don't want food like I did before surgery. I am finally forcing myself to eat but I am eating to live.Not living to eat like I used to. I feel like a normal person other than the thought of eating sometimes makes me feel like voimting,but when I do eat I have never gotten sick. So I understand how you feel I have been told it gets better with time.Good luck to you Sandra http://www.choosing2lose.com/tickers/4599d7d525fc2/weightloss.png

NO! I am not having that problem. I want to eat (and pretty much am eating) everything... We should be able to trade pouches every once in a while. You can have mine when you need to get your protien in and I can use yours to lose this last FREAKING 24 lbs!!! Kathy

We all went through this stage I think. Dr. Byrne told us as long as you get your protein requirements, you are okay....he said "you are trying to diet, so don't worry about it"!! Try ordering some profect Protein vials. I use those, and eat saltines to just coat my tummy when I am not wanting food. www.profect.com They actually have a website banner popping up right next to where I am typing this. It is 25gms protein in just 3 oz. DO pour it over a few cubes of ice Don't worry in a month or two, you will be posting, "why am I hungry all the time" Then you will go back to the whole no food thing. I do remember that!! just get your protein in, no worries!! If you also switch from the multitude of vitamins you are taking, that will help also, go to www.Vistavitamins.com they are THE BEST vitamins on the market, and will help you a lot. you will have good blood results ALWAYS and never have troubles, and all you need is 1 chewable with meals, I think 4 times per day. Then you can switch to the pkgs, and 1 day= 2 pkgs AM/PM I had kidney stone issues, so I cut back last February to 1pkg either AM or PM because they are all the same, and its only 4 capsules per day, no thinking about other supplements as it is an all inclusive vitamin. It won't increase your hunger, but it will keep you from being anemic and also you won't have to think about did I have my calcium or iron or B vitamins or micronutrients. Just my opinion, and I wish to God I got paid to advertise their product, because I would be a RICH woman!! I have never had anyone say they hated those vitamins after I got them to switch to them...lol I think it would help you a lot!! Love ya Deb
