Lenny T got a reaction from MrsRP in Am I going to be starving?
You are exactly right MrsRP, I am a year post surgery and lost 195 lbs. and that's what I found that hunger has diminished and you just fuel up with high Protein small meals , drink your Water and supplements.< /p>

I haven't had the surgery but the 'reason' for the sleeve and the diminished appetite is because hunger receptors are in the wall of the stomach so if you take 80% of the stomach out the 'physical hunger' is very low - some people report having to 'force' themselves to eat since they don't feel hunger. You can experience 'mental' hunger and that is when you want to eat a burger and fries with a Coke and you down two bites and feel full or even sick since it's not something your new stomach can handle. I have even heard patients said: if you think you will tell your sleeve what and how much to eat you'll be wrong because you WILL get sick!
Don't know from experience just from some medical knowledge and feedback from actual WLS patients.
