Hunger No More...

Hunger. I have NONE. My entire life I've been hungry. I just could never say no to seconds or thirds and lord help me if it was one of my favorite foods or desserts. I always failed at diets because I would work out then come home starving and always over it (even it was super healthy food). Today, I'm 7 days post op, and I HAVE NO hunger. I'm dealing with a bit of stomach acid, but the moment I take my antacid medication the grumbling disappears. Hate to say this is a miracle, but for me- this is absolutely life changing to wake up and not be starving. Hallelujah.

Dimeekie,

WOW that has to be a wonderful feeling! I am so looking forward to that feeling... I feel like a bottomless pit...the only time I can remember not being hungry is when I was taking appetite suppressants!!! Just to wake up and not be overcome with hunger would be a miracle to me too! Wishing you the best of success on your journey.

It may change, you might begin to feel some kind of hunger in a couple months but it is NOTHING..I repeat NOTHING like it was before. It turns from a lion to kitten and it doesnt really feel like hunger, more like...a small empty feeling that can be forgotton if you dont keep a schedule..It is a nice feeling...ENJOY.

Absolutely, my doc said I will get hunger back, but it will be faint compared to now. I actually a couple of different issues (PCSO and an insulin issue) and both contribute dramatically to my appetite. I kept thinking before my surgery, omg 4 weeks post op liquid diet? HOW in the world???? I'm one week out and I have ZERO desire to eat, even when food is right in front of me. It is just so new and different for me to feel this way. I feel like a burden has been lifted off me. Like I'm not depriving myself of food- I've always felt like I was in starvation mode, and right now I'm perfectly content. :)
