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.

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!!!

I'm over 3 years out and still rarely feel physical hunger.

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.

I have felt this same way. 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.

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

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
