Do you eat even if your not hungry to get your calories in?

Well whatever your doing is working. You've done great. Good job.

You're not an odd duck!  I also get hungry.  Sometimes VERY hungry!  I have 4 cc in a 10cc band (that is with 2 fills).  Sometimes I feel full,  but I am hoping to get more restriction with my third fill. I don't count calories, rather I measure and weigh what I eat.  It has been working well so far.  If I have problems or reach a plateau I will start counting.  I do keep calories in mind,  but I just don't feel the need to count them at this point.  I can't wait until I am not starving!

I am usually not hungry for my afternoon meal.  I have found though that if I do not eat that I will slip into the old habit of nibbling while I'm cooking dinner.  If I'm not really hungry though I do not eat a full meal.  I will usually have a small protein bar (or cheese stick, etc.) to help meet my daily requirements and then  I'm good to go until dinner's ready! 

If i have proper restriction, i am never hungry i watch the clock and say it is time to eat. I eat my 1/2 cup three times a day just like the doctor told me to do. I also drink a bottle of liquid Isopure throughout the day along with my water to insure i am getting all of my protein in. I think you need to eat or do a protein shake, it's not healthy to do without food and send you body into starvation mode.  Brenda 

I eat my 3 meals whether I'm hungry or not. Today at noon I was not hungry but eat my lunch. I don't eat till I'm full, I just eat till I'm satisfied or comfortable. I need to get my calories and protein in.

I'm usually not hungry in the afternoon but I know if I don't eat during that time I'll be ravenous come dinner time and then I'm just a mess with out of control hunger and bad choices.  Keeping on a schedule prevents overeating for me.

Lori, The only times in my life when I didn't get hungry were when I had food poisoning. My rule is: don't eat if you're not hungry.  But if I went 2 days without hunger, I'd be checking my blood sugar every few hours and eating something if it got low. Jean

i force myself to eat even if im not hungry...i dont eat my fill meal however i'll have a piece of fruit or deli meat something like that.  I have a low blood surgar problem. and it keeps it steady to eat even when im not hungry.

I haven't been hungry since my surgery on March 5th. Yes, I eat to get in my calories. If I eat only when I am hungry I get in about 400 calories a day. I have to ork to get in 900.

WOW 77lbs in 2 months. That is amazing. Great Job. I wish I could have done that.
