Not Hungry??

What do you guys do when you are not hungry but know you need to eat? Any suggestions? I seem to get this way a few times a week. Thanks!!

depends on my mood - either a plain protien shake I can just down or a yummy one like pumpikn latte that I can sit and sip on
but basically shake or bar is my fall back - although I love food so don't have that happen very often anymore

The first couple of years many times I had to force myself to "eat".  I always fell back to a protein shake, cold that I mixed with my Magic Bullet. 

And I thought it was just me....I'm still not hungry post op!  I do have other physical signs when I go long period of time without eating, but hunger is not one of them!  I am certainly enjoying that.

even this far out, i will have days where food is like ick.  However, you still have to lol.  I will set my cell phone alarm or something, do thin sliced ham/cheese rollups or use the standard protein shake fallback. 

I guess I am a weird one because I do get hungry. But I never get hungry like I used to. I try to eat about avery 4 hours at least a snack. But a snack for me is almost the same as a meal. I was told i wouldn't get hunry till about a year but i get hungry now just not STARVING like I used to.

I am grateful for both things.

My hunger kicked in around 3 months - up until then I had to look at the clock to know when to eat and it was WONDERFUL.  I wi**** had stayed that way!

But even now when I get hungry it is not the same STARVING like you said pre-op so I am thankful for that.  I can ignore the hunger pains and keep on functioning.

I also eat about every 4 hours and try to focus on protein because if I eat carbs I am hungry in 2 hours LOL.
