Y aren't I hungry?



Recommended Posts

OK here I go ! I had no pre-op diet so no fast weight loss. I am one week out of surgery and am not hungry. I have so many questions to ask my MD on my first visit. Would like to get one answer here now though if possible. They all say that the band has no fill at surgery so what is making me not hungry? I don't think I will have much in the line of weight loss because even thou I'm getting in the Protein I'm only getting a total of maybe 580-700 calories a day. I do know that your body will not lose if it thinks your starving. Does anyone have some good examples of what they have lost if anything because I also know some have gained? Am I not hungry because it is all in my head and because I had the surgery I'm having a placebo effect? I hope not because that won't last till my first fill in a month.

you are still very swollen, and there most likely a little bit of Fluid in the band but won't know until you go in for your first fill. it was about 2 weeks before i was actually "hungry" for food. keep drinking your Protein Shakes, try getting in the calories, the first few weeks are not about losing, but about healing. you are doing fine. it does get better. before you know it you will be hungry.

that makes me feel better too. I had my surgery one week ago today. I'm down 8lbs since surgery, not hungry at all. I am having trouble getting in all my Water though. Seems like I am sipping all day on water, but still really thirsty. I only get about 1 1/2 bottles of water down aday. Is that about normal?

8 lbs is great congratulations !! I was done on the 14th as well and I had to go to my MD today and am only down 3, I was hoping for a bigger number.

I'm in week 5 and haven't been very hungry or experiencing Baners Hell. Seems to me the stomach is still a lot smaller and that might be why. I can tell it's smaller when I eat.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
