I did lose hunger when in the green zone. I enjoyed food when I ate it but didn't feel hungry and often forgot to eat.

food became very much like having a nice massage. Nice at the time, but if it didn't happen, I didn't really think about it at all.

I have not experienced real hunger in over 2 years now....

Most days I forget to eat anything between my Breakfast smoothie and dinner....

I have gone full 24 hour days and forget to eat anything, especially if I'm pre occupied with something like hiking or out on the boat fishing....and it des not bother me

I wish I had! I'm nearing my three year anniversary and sadly, I still do get hungry.

To be honest, now that I think about it, not like I used to though.

Banded nearly 10 months now and I still get really hungry. Don't think it was as bad as before though.

Hopefully a few more fills and ill get there!

My stomach is growling as we speak! But it only gets like this first thing in the morning since its been 12 hours since I ate and I've been up 2 hours already. It knows its time for food! But after breakfast, I eat because I'm supposed to. I sometimes flat out forget to.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
