I went from being hungry All the Time pre-surgery to having to remind myself to eat post-surgery. My hunger started to reappear at about my 1 year anniversary but is just what I call normal reminders to eat. As long as I stay on my meal program I don't have food cravings. I definitely feel full. I have deliberately kept my stomach on the small side. 14 months out and a cup of food makes me feel uncomfortable. I just make my food choices count. At this point, I only write down foods that are new but I still measure/weigh everything! I've lost 104% of my excess weight! = ) I have to admit, I am totally shocked at what people are posting they are eating 3 weeks - 4 months out! Don't forget to read labels. Stay away from foods that are higher in fat, sugar and sodium. WLS is only a TEMPORARY tool. Make the most of it before your body realizes the trick you've played on it. Support groups are full of people who are sorry they didn't take it more seriously. I owe a lot of my success to them!

thanks :) from all the bad crap in food now days it sounds like I will only be eating meat and veggies :0
