Wow you look GREAT!! I had my surgery a month after you and I've lost 60 pounds, that's amazing how much you lost in 6 months!!
Please share what your daily food intake is like if you don't mind? I need ideas to help start my weight loss back up since I've hit a stall.

So I was sleeved on 12/6 and since then I've been following my liquid diet. I was expecting to feel hungry but I don't at all. When i do a little i just drink some Water or broth and i feel full!! I am hoping that it stays this way but I'm wondering if its because my stomach still hurts so maybe that's why I don't feel hunger. This is wonderful and I just really hope it lasts. I guess that's a part of what the sleeve is for anyways lol. Still getting use to this but loving it so far. I can't imagine what it will be like once I switch to normal foods...curious how much I will be able to eat ect...

Thank you I definitely feel different already. My clothes are lose and my feet don't hurt as badly as they use to either. I love my sleeve! lol

Thanks you everyone that makes me feel great!! :-)

Yes! I can see the difference. Can you 'feel' the difference?

There is a difference. I see it in you lower face alot!

1 week 1 day post op and have no regrets! I've already lost 24 pounds and I feel great! The worst part was the first 2 days... Gas pains and nausea. But after that it hasn't been bad at all. I just had my first post op appointment today and everything looks great. I was so scared and nervous too before I had y surgery... Had a couple of breakdowns and struggled with the pre op diet but now I am so happy I did it! Good luck and stay strong :-)

That's wonderful I am so happy I did this!

I am thirteen weeks today and like the other poster said it really is not a hunger, more of an empty I feel weak. There are times when I am busy there are no thoughts of food. You can go for very long because you really are not hungry, it is absolutely fantastic!!

Hi skinnyjenn - I was sleeved on October 11th, and just like you, I felt NO hunger at first. It's probably because your stomach is still swollen and will be for about the first 2 weeks.
When I finally did start feeling hunger, I found that it was a totally different feeling of being "hungry" than it was before. For me, the hunger I feel can be squashed with a little bit of anything, like Water or just a bite of something. I can also pretty much tell myself to ignore the feeling and it goes away.
The kind of hunger I feel now is nowhere near the feeling I had before, where you thought you were just going to die if you didn't eat something. This is much more manageable (at least for now, and at least for me at 2 months out).

This, for me, is the lure of WLS. My neighbor, who had VSG around three years ago, told me that he had to remember to eat.
