At what point after your surgery did you realize you weren't hungry anymore?

Excluding recovery or illness, but a general sense that your hunger had diminished.

    I am sort of the opposite. Now just over 4 weeks out and trying to eat more regular food, I am finding that I am more hungry than I was just after surgery. I am having to really eat slow and in smal

Yesterday I was walking through a large parking lot. On the edge of the parking lot was a Kentucky Fried chicken - the wind was coming right at me.... the aroma of Nature's most perfect food - fried chicken - was all embracing. I closed my eyes and took in the sweet aroma of the forbidden delicacy.... I saw angels... but they had chicken wings' date=' and little baskets with rolls and gravy... I am pretty sure I passed out.

:lol: This made me laugh so hard.

I am 2 1/2 weeks out and have felt no "hunger." I do feel empty when it's time to eat, but it's not really hunger per se. I have had bouts of head hunger and I totally knew it was because I wanted really naughty, naughty foods.

Once I started thick to solids I don't get that hungry. I have some head hunger in the evenings, but that is just habit.

Just throwing in my two cents worth. I haven't felt true hunger since the morning BEFORE surgery. I have not been hungry since I woke up. Right now, I'm using my son's internal clock to know it is time to eat. I figure I will have to set alarms when I go back to work. I just hope this feeling lasts. :)

I rarely feel hungry- I eat normally because it has been several hours since I last did and it is a necessity more though than a want... I love/hate it...

Love it....

Yesturday I was taking care of some legal matters with family and wasn't able to eat. I did not get hungry and was drinking my water. But when I got home, I wasn't really hungry but once I ate some peanuts and stuff, my head hunger got really bad. The head hunger is really an enemy of mine. I'm always working on this. I have been doing a lot of mindless eating too. :wacko:
