October 6, 201114 yr Has anyone just not ever felt hungry? I have been really busy the past few weeks and forget to eat. Now even when I am at home I forget to eat because I am just not hungry. I am only three months out and just got my third fill today.
October 6, 201114 yr I am 10 1/2 months post op and I have probably only felt actual real hunger half a dozen times since my surgery. Many times I go without eating through the day because I would rather go home and eat a good healthy meal rather than grab something quick and easy on the run. My surgeon says "Don't eat if you are not hungry." I know that is not what most surgeons say, so follow your surgeon's advice, but it has worked for me as I am down a little over a hundred pounds since surgery. Good luck to you on your journey!!!
October 7, 201114 yr If I'm busy I can go all day without eating and not feel hungry - which tells me my band is working. But at home, I'm "hungry" all the time. I would never forget to eat! I had the not hungry never think about food thing for about 4 months after my surgery, over which time I was gradually filling - but the head hunger and general appetite returned for me - its hard to tell when you have a band, you get used to a new normal but I am not as bad as I used to be. But to go from lunch to dinner not eating on a home day is a major achievement for me - generally about 4pm I want to raid the biscuit tin.

You really summed it all up for me. I guess I am just concerned that if I eat too few calories I will not lose. I have decided to go back to my eating specialist for help on getting back on track in and out of the home.
October 7, 201114 yr i can tell the difference between head hunger and real body hunger, but i always have both. Im trying to change my timing for eating so that i do not pig out at night. maybe a early breakfast and a snack throughout the day will help my night time snack attacks
