I'm 9 1/2 months post op and I still really enjoy my food. I never really lost the hunger feeling but I do get full faster. I agree that you begin to slowly make better food choices as you prioritize getting Protein, Fiber, and vegetables in. I find myself enjoying cooking. I'm trying out new recipes and like to explore new spices and flavors. I'm still a food addict, but I'm slowly learning to deal with it. What I found great was how my taste buds changed and now I can hardly tolerate fried foods like French fries and can use one teaspoon of sugar in my cup of coffee and find it sweet as opposed to 7 teaspoons Pre-op. You will enjoy food again.
