You really had some good questions and I am going to try to answer what it is like for me. First question about hunger, My mind is always hungry but after 5 months I know the difference if that makes since, I always think about food in my mind but stomach is not hungry. Second question, my surgery was good with no problems or complications so I felt like moving and doing things immediately, I believe that being active before surgery is a big help and helped me alot (walking). Third question clothes, When I realized I could fit much smaller clothes I was so excited, I danced around smiling and I kept saying thank you God......Yes! The first place I noticed I had lost weight was in face and neck. I have lost a total of 70 pounds so far and have 20 more to go.Everyone tells me I look smaller than I am and that feels great. I look forward to exercising now, I really enjoy it and do it 4x week. I am so thankful and blessed. My husband is such a great support of me losing weight and keeping me motivated to exercise. God's Blesings your way!! Hope this helps and make since.
