On OH, I read a thread that said that having ghrelin decreased causes memory loss. Do you think there is any truth to that?

Since being sleeved, I keep losing things. It's like I have no memory left at all where I put things.

WasA? Elizabeth? Anyone else know if this could possibly be true?

I found my lost work badge today. It was in the garbage bag in my car! I must have thrown something out when I had it in my hand and dropped it in there.

I was wondering does the hungry go away right away or does this hormone need time to get out of your body?

I was hungry after surgery when I was on Clear liquids. Once I moved to full liquids, it was gone.

Now I can go hours and hours and not feel hungry.

Well, sounds like the "hid-a-key" worked!!!

Seriously, I think that the nutritional, metabolic and other changes that go along with this journey are bound to affect us mentally until we get back on a maintenance nutritional intake that feeds the neurons really well with at least 1200 calories a day. The brain on 800 calories is just going to act like a brain on 800 calories. I'm expecting to laugh at myself a lot over the next year. I can tolerate it in order to get where I want to be in weight.
