My hunger comes and goes now. I think long term its a good thing that we feel some hunger. Its not too helpful while losing but after I think its going to be a big plus.

Thanks for your post 4romatl, would love to here if things get better for you.

Hi Dave I`m in IT. When its busy I can even forget to eat quite easily, its not a problem. After the four week point its just not a hassle.

Patches worked for me.

I went back at 6 weeks and it took me a couple of weeks (at least) to get back into it. now at 12 weeks it feels like I`m flying in comparison! I can get a little dizzy for a couple of seconds if I get up quickly. I have all the energy I need.

I weighed myself every morning with Passion then last month my scales broke and I haven't replaced them . I`m thinking I may not bother.

I know how you feel at 2 weeks I was the same, and yes you will probably get away with it but the consequences are high. If you can just hold on for a bit longer it would be much better.

Today I had a treat. MacDonald's Breakfast, I was a little dishartend and disappointed because it was a long way to drive for 3 bytes of a egg muffin. Today at the Gym I did 20 Burpees in 30 seconds, It felt Awesom. Oh and I have a date Sat night.

It certainly is going to take some getting used to. :biggrin0:

I`m 3 months sleeved. Three days ago my hunger stoped and has not come back, the most I get is a hollow empty felling. Has this happend to anyone else after so long?

That was a wonderful post CLK. I just wanted to add that I love my food just as much as I ever did. As for quantity its awesomely relative, Eating a slice of pizza now is sort of equivalent to eating a whole pizza then, same amount of time taken, same taste and same fullness. I have no problem stuffing my face with pizza occasionally.

I really wouldn`t go down that road, Its like just one cigarette.

I started playing Cataclysm (alpha) four months ago. I got very bored very quickly as not having your guildies around takes all the fun out of it. I have stopped playing ever since i got sleeved and am waiting for the retail release. Flying around Eastern Kingdom is awesome.

Congratulations on your new smaller stomach.

Your stomach has stretch receptors so when food touches them, a message is sent to the brain telling you to stop eating. I believe you just have to relearn what full is. when I am eating I can go from hungry to the I don`t want any more very quickly. I have to stop right then or I get the can`t move for a week feeling. For me its very obvious, easy to anticipate and satisfying. I also still get hungry and eat every 2-3 hrs but for some reason and without trying I no longer crave junk food.

I have the same problem and this is what worked for me: Chuck out all the Junk. buy grapes, nuts and dried fruit etc. Buy a load of little tiny weeny zip-lock bags. makeup lots of little bags of good snack food and place at front of fridge.

Thats a good point Jane, I was kicking myself for not getting WLS earlier but if I had it would of been the band and just between you and me I don`t think I would of liked the band at all.

I would of loved to be losing my excess wight by Gym and diet alone but there comes a time when you have to wake up and smell the coffee.

Please keep us updated, we care.

Hamburger not a chance, a bite of Hamburger at least once a month.

I took a week off but I have a desk job and everyone is different. If you can aford it take a year off, i would.

Liquid, Hate it, Hate it, Hate it...................... Solid, Ummmmmmm chicken, ummmmmmm Fish

Non, they should all be expunged ! :thumbup1:

at 8 week I could take 3 good gulps from a bottle.

I think its because even at 1800 cals your still about 200 cals negative for the day (all things being average) and thats not including if you exercised. :thumbup:
