Life Update: Struggling with Eating When Not Hungry 

Hang in there. Awareness is a key step to change. New to your channel and really enjoying it. Thanks for your honesty!

Thanks for sharing so thoughtfully. Taking the time to realize what’s happening and making the adjustments to stay focused on our goals and desired behaviors is ongoing. We will come out on other side healthy! Prayers continue for your husband and you. Take care.

This is so relatable Kaki. I'm also Going through and extensive period where i have almost nothing to do, so it makes me think about food a lot. And idk what to do with these thoughts... I do recognize that sometimes i eat without hunger but just out boredom, even if it's still healthy food and it bothers me somehow. Thanks for talking about this and keeping it real. Wishing a speedy recovery to your husband, stay strong, we got this.

Life happens.. we are all human. I gained back some weight over the holidays because of stress. But I went back to tracking my foods, meal prepping and planning a month ago and I feel better. We just have to jump back on that wagon of life and get it back together sometimes. Praying your husband can be home with you soon!

I am so sorry that you and your husband is going through his hospitalization. I can understand eating for non-hunger. I was 1 of 75 positions cut at my main job and now I'm job hunting to support my family and I just want to eat. I am not eating (binging, as I used to) but I so want to. God bless you and your husband.

You got this. Prayers for you and your husband. 😊

Hi Kaki. Positive healing thoughts for your husband. I have been having the same issue. You look absolutely gorgeous.

Praying for you! I’m struggling with this liquid diet. I have another 6 weeks until I’m on a full regular diet. Down 14.5 lbs in total. Surgery was last Friday, Jan 19. Also we had to put our dog down last night 😢

Hi Kaki! I'm sorry you and your husband are still going through this and I hope he has a quick and full recovery and is home soon. I'm 15 weeks post op and down exactly 50 pounds as of this morning. I'm doing well but it's the lack of bathroom mobility that I was unprepared for. I'm not sure I would call it "constipation" exactly, since I'm sure there's just not that much to evacuate with how little we eat.... but you can't loose weight if you don't "go". So, I'm finding that frustrating. I'm only able to have a movement about once or twice a week. I'm eating vegetables and fruits and have a softener twice a day. I've also added a fiber supplement, but there's still not much relief. I've had to use suppositories to get anything moving and don't want to rely on those. Any advise is welcomed!

Kaki, I will keep you and your husband in my prayers. Allow yourself some grace….. the grace that you so easily give to others….. isn’t that always the way….. we are so much kinder to others than we are to ourselves. Recognition is key, and you have done that with how you are feeling lately. Keep tracking. Being in a hospital room for long periods is difficult. Think of some things you could occupy yourself with….. maybe write a short letter to someone you want to catch up with, try a little meditation, listen to a book on tape, or some music. Be kind to yourself…..❤

Love your vlogs. I had bariatric gastric bypass on Oct 11, 2023 and my hair is getting very thin and falling out. I'm taking all of my vitamins especially the bariatric vitamins and biotiin. What can you recommend to use, any different vitamins and hair products? Thanks Bonnie
