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.

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!!

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.

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