This is true. I am never hungry, not even in the morning when I wake up after not eating for several hours. I have an eating schedule that I follow during the day so that I can get in my Protein.

I have seen that many people on this forum say that they are hungry though, so I don't think that everyone who has been sleeved is never hungry, but I don't know why one person is and one person is not.

I do get hungry sometimes but not as much as I did before I was sleeved.

pre-surgery weight 325; surgery date 2/28/2013; surgery weight 307; 8 weeks past-op weight 281.4; 12 weeks post-op 274; 4 month post-op 266.2

It was only true for me for about 3 weeks. At almost 4 months post op, I am hungry all the time :-(

I have had maybe 3 times in 7 weeks post op that I thought I was hungry. Before surgery I usually had trouble telling if I was truley hungry or if it was a digestion issue. Just like pre op I usually feel weak and shakey rather than stomach hunger.

I can honestly say any hunger I have is "head hunger".

Head hunger and psycho cravings start to subside. I am not hungry very often.

I'm 11 days post sleeve and haven't been hungry once! I'm hoping this never goes away!! Now, I can't say the pizza and fast food commercials don't still grab me a little bit... But, nothing like before!

I am 2 + years out... and after finding that I don't eat and began to look sick I realized I have to eat MORE!! So yes I am never really hungry and if I am.. ONE BITE of anything works! and it goes away. I have had to "make meals" to eat so I don't keep losing. So I think for some people it goes away!

Hunger returned for me around 3 weeks - but only if I go beyond 4 hours of not eating. I don't wake hungry in the morning though.

I am 4 months out...I do not get hungry. I know it won't last forever, but I hope to lose as much as I can while it lasts. Everybody is different. I've read posts from people right out of surgery who say they are hungry, so there is no guarantee.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
