You are all so lucky. I got hunger back almost right away! I struggle with being really empty feeling...then overfull. I know what parts are cravings (which are bad too) but hunger is present. I don't know what to do. I'm 3 mos. out and lost 40 lbs but that's after gaining a couple lbs back this past week. Any suggestions? How many calories should I focus on and how often does everyone exercise. I walk for an hour/hour 1/2 5 times a week. I usually get over 10k steps.

Thank you for the thorough response!! I sure hope my leptin increases because my current cravings are just as uncomfortable as they were in the first 3 days of the pre-op diet.

I tried to look this up online but couldn't find anything. I really think that the unused part of my stomach is still sending hunger signals to my brain. Does anyone know the answer to this one? Thanks!!

My date is 3/21! I'm hungry (pre-op diet), excited, and very anxious.
