I noticed this morning that I had no desire to eat my breakfast. I just was not hungry and didn't want to eat. I managed to eat a little bit though. So later lunch rolls around and I still really didn't have desire to eat. Made myself eat something. Does this ever happen to anyone else? I've been in the same tune since this morning, not hungry. I haven't had my first fill yet and don't believe I have much if any restriction. Only two weeks post. Any feedback is appreciated!

I had no desire to eat for the first month after surgery. Now, 3 years later, I don't usually have much appetite and have to force myself to eat most days.

I will be 6 months out on the 8th, and I am still waiting to feel not hungry....as I sit here typing this I am counting down the minutes until dinner...lol I go for my 5th fill tomorrow morning, maybe then I will notice something....

Lucky you..........I wish I did not have an appetite I am 3 weeks out and always hungry.

Hi. I had my surgery on July 28th and I am very rarely hungry. You really do need to eat though because otherwise you might get shaky or whoozy. I have done that - it is not pleasant.

I had a fill during surgery so I think that has really helped with the hunger.

You are not alone... I am 3 months post op and tend to not be hungry. I have to remind myself to eat my protein bars and shakes. My biggest issue is drinking enough water or beverage of any kind. I feel lucky to now "eat to live and not live to eat". I have seen both sides of that coin and I prefer the eat to live. Just keep reminding yourself to eat. Have healthy snacks available at all times... veggies, bars, shakes, whatever... just so you don't let you blood sugar drop. Just my thoughts... good luck to you and take care.

Lisa, it took me my fifth fill to feel restriction and a reduction in hunger. I was about 7 months out by then too.

Even though the weight isn't cranking off of me like I hoped it would when I got to the green zone, hunger is not an issue finally. Good luck!

And this is a BAD thing HOW????????????? LOL Be HAPPY for it!!! It's MUCH easier to REMIND yourself to eat than to try and control your addiction to not want to stop!

I am at restriction. I have a long time between lunch and dinner about 7 hours. By the time I get dinner I am starving. More to your point I find at 4 in the afternoon I think I am hungry. It's really head hunger because I'm bored. I'm not saying that your hunger is always head hunger but head hunger is very powerful thing.

I eat at 11:30 every day...don't usually eat anything for breakfast and then eat dinner anywhere from 7:30 to 9:00. On the weekends I find I won't think much about food until 1:30-2:00

That's me, yeterday and today I look up it's 3:15 and all I had had was water and a cofffee. NOT GOOD, if I think of I eat because I know I need to . But if I am busy with chores, it doesn't happen.

I think both ends of the spectrum are pretty common.

I've had my band for 3 weeks, and I find that some days I'm just not hungry at all, and other days, I'll get hungry at regular meal times. I remind myself to eat though, even on the not hungry days, just to keep my body fuelled.

Cakegirl, that's exactly what's goin on with me!
