I actually CAME to this forum because I'm NOT hungry and it was freaking me out! My team generally has been amazing in the 7 month journey to having the surgery, but I wasn't ready for this. Two things have me kind of freaked out. 1. I'm not hungry at all. Like...at...all. I expected to have the same hunger response, just with a different capacity. Having my hunger response totally disappear kind of knocked me for a loop. 2. I'm having problems telling if I'm full. I haven't vomited or felt nauseated once. I feel kind of lost when it comes to knowing how much to drink and eat at one time during this time of fluids only because I feel no fullness and don't understand or have any clear boundaries with my band (outside of the literature I've been given post-operatively). Basically I feel like I've eaten about an hour ago, all the time since surgery (my surgery was on 7-20-2012).
