Physical hunger: it never really came back. My signals are quite subtle, maybe too subtle and I guess I override them regularly, especially when I have a lot of stress at work.

Head hunger: don't count on head hunger or appetite going away, let alone staying away. Head hunger is normal, everyone experiences it, WLS or not, overweight or not, and you better learn how to cope with it as soon as possible. Can't kill the dragon? Learn to ride it.

Re: head hunger I’ve read some people develop a new taste in food and have to set timers to remind themselves to eat after sleeve surgery... I guess it’s not most people though.

I’m hoping that if I get this done I could have a solid year to set new habits before the hunger returns. Is this realistic? When did the hunger return for you? The head hunger? Did you even lose hunger after surgery? I’m just curious for all sorts of experiences.

WOW! amazing! so good to see a veteran's success story. You look strong and happy!
