5 months out and finally not hungry



Recommended Posts

Is this unual, I'm 5 months now. For the first 4 months I still felt hungry, not like before surgery but I knew it was time to eat. Now I have no hunger, could it take that long to stop feeling hungry? And I only hope it doesn't come back. Thanks Janine

Oh gosh me too!!! Some days I have no hunger and other days I have tons!! Not sure why, just something with the way our body tries to balance things. Maybe your body has adjusted to the amount of calories and knows the normal intake you have had for the last 4 months has been sufficient so it stopped craving food and telling you it was hungry? Either way, I would be thankful for it!!

I think the hormones stay around for different times for different people. I was so upset because I was hungry all the time and suddenly around 10 weeks post op...the hunger pains went away..

I occasional get an emptly feeling but never hunger pains like before. I am lovin this sleeve and the confidence it gives me.B)

I was thinking this is all in my head. I guess its good for all newer sleevers knowing that they still can lose their hunger even if its 4 month later . Now I wish my stomach will tell my head its not hungry.

Oh my gosh, I'm 10 days Post op and I've been so hungry and no one believes me. I'm really glad to hear it might go away!

What I am amazed by is that my hunger pattern is exactly the same as before 1 month out. Some days I get hungry, some days I don't. Same as before. But, unfortunately the same as before, when I get hungry I GET HUNGRY. Hunger has always hit me fast which was one of the problems I had. If I was out driving around and suddenly got really hungry, I'd hit a drive through. Now, I'm carrying a small 2 ounce serving of sugar free apple sauce for a quick fix. I can't wait another month when I will be okay to have a small Protein bar in my purse. Hunger does not happen before 2 hours. But sometimes it will hit at 2.5 when I'm not planning to eat until 3 hours so I need a little something to fall back on. Even if it's just for 1 bite.

And while everyone said mine is/was head hunger I know it's not because I am content to eat applesauce. I am not fond of applesauce but it fills the hunger. I think if it was just in my head, I'd be wanting something I actually liked.

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

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
