Anyone else forget to eat?

[Ourei]

In the last 2 weeks, my bf noticed that I've dropped a little weight. I'm already pretty thin, but it got even thinner, and I didn't notice it myself.

Today was the day I caught myself. I vape all day long, and I drink water all day along with it. I skipped breakfast, which I sometimes do, and can you believe it, I forgot to eat lunch. It's only at dinnertime when I dug into a bean burrito that I realized it's the first thing I ate since the night before!

I guess with all-day vaping I get so much nicotine that I don't have an appetite.

I'll be making up for my meals tomorrow for sure. Haha!

Has anyone else forgotten to eat?

So funny you should say that. I just got my GGTS yesterday and I was so excited I vaped all day long and finally realized at 8pm that I hadn't eaten yet!

I forget to eat too. Seems like vaping so many "dessert" flavors takes away my appetite. I was even talking to an overweight non-smoking friend about vaping as a weight-loss product. Instead of eating cinnamon rolls, you just VAPE some and call it good. Pretty funny if e-cigs cured smoking AND overeating! Now we're REALLY talking about some health improvement for population at large for little money.

The only time I quit smoking for any length of time BEFORE e-cigs, I gained 60 pounds and it took me 3 years to get it off--smoking was the way I got the pounds off. So quitting and not eating at the same time is amazing for me.

I have the exact opposite problem...i find that i'm eating MORE now... =(

I often skip meals, fequently eating once a day. But, I've been doing that for decades ...
So, for me at least, it isn't related to vaping.

Forget to Eat?

The first 2 weeks I quit analogs I ate anything that was in the frig and somethings that weren't.

Now that the analog cravings have mellowed, I find myself doing what I did when I smoked. If I chain smoked, I wouldn't eat anything. If I chain vape, I don't eat anything either.

I never eat lunch anyway and a small breakfast and dinner isn't what you would call large either. My problem is the night time snacks but vaping hasn't changed my eating habits at all.

I have never in my life forgotten to eat. Having a good memory is sometimes a curse.

In all honesty though, I did drop a little weight when I first started using my pv. That was a real surprise for me since all my other stop smoking bouts had resulted in gaining weight. I didn't forget to eat. I just seemed to have more energy and was therefore more active I guess. Part of the increased activity was running back and forth to the mailbox to see if any new toys had been delivered.

I on occasion forget to eat, but that's not been related to vaping. I haven't kept track of my weight since I started, but the other day I stepped on the scale for the first time in how long and, not knowing how well the scale was calibrated, I'm at my normal weight.

 

[juicefreak]

yes definitely i forget to eat. i've never been a 3 meal a day kind of person, but with vaping i def go longer with out eating. less coffee drinking too.

one thing i do notice, i have to have crackers handy to put something in my stomach to soak up the nic effect (nausea at times) from vaping and not eating. i've noticed my belly needs something, but i'm still not hungry enough to decide whether i should eat or not. crackers do the trick for those times.

/.../ Has anyone else forgotten to eat?

Ha! I wish.

I forget to eat, but like others, it's not vaping related. I've done it for years. Hubby tells me "Ya gotta be a special kind of stupid to forget to eat"

I've been vaping for 14 months now. At first I lost weight, reveling in the flavors. But now Banana nut bread makes me want BNB, Cinnamon roll makes me crave them...maybe I better just go back to tobacco flavors

Don't Do That.

From what you said. If you start vaping Tobacco Flavors, it might make you crave Analogs or even worse, Cigars.

If it weren't for my better half, I would only eat dinner.
He is a 3 meals a day guy and must have lunch no later than 12:30 and dinner no later than 6:30.
One thing I no longer do is have the want for sweets. Thank you 'mixers', for the wonderful sweet flavs.

Thanks for being concerned. It is appreciated much more than you know.

I know you'd think it would, but it doesn't. I (we) got on a kick where we only did tobacco flavors for about 6 months. 555 is still my "go to" after meals, when I wake up with coffee, while driving, all those times when you just "gotta have a smoke".
It's just that I'm really enjoying the abundance of flavors that are available now, unlike when there used to be only single notes (pretty much) like cherry, lemon, whatever.

Off to vape some Banana nut bread and TRY to keep from opening the breadbox

That's kinda funny you mentioned that...

I love sweet flavors. So when I firat got into e-Cigs I went for Sweet Flavors like Watermelon, Cherry, Caramel, etc. But they just didn't seem to curve my cravings for analogs.

I ran low on my "Sweet" flavors and was forced to use the stock tabacco flavor that came with my e-Cig. I found that it seemed to satisfy me more than Sweet Fruit flavors.

Maybe it is all sycological (sp?) but for the first 3 or 4 weeks of quiting analogs, those raspy tobacco flavors help me more than the sweet flavors I liked better.

 

[Fudgey]

No way would I ever forget to eat...lol. Everything just taste so good now!!

 

[Princessdee]

Which may be part of my problem, Monkey.

I can actually taste the butter in toffee of the Heath bar! I never did before. (Smoked for 36 years, since I was 16)

Maybe that's why I can't get enough of food lately.
I have always loved water. Last summer we had to put in a reverse osmosis system because I started realizing just how bad our well-water tasted.

Might be a while before I realize any $ saved if I put the water into the equation.
