I am about a month away from surgery and I'm kind of freaking out. I'm afraid that my brain is not going to be able to tell me when I'm full.

Do you really stop being hungry for no reason? When you get full do you stay full??

YES!!! I forget I need to eat sometimes. I do get hungry randomly but that's if I have forgotten eat for a long period of time. I do need to fight head hunger. When pouch says...I am satisfied. My head says WTF! You only ate 1/4 cup of tuna salad. Feed me Seymore! (Sorry for the little shop of horrors reference) Anyway....I has 3 pieces of sashimi for lunch today and was full...it would have take 15 to 20 before for that to happen. You can do this!

Really....I'm 3 months out today...haven't experienced hunger yet. I sometimes see things and think "I want to eat that" but really I don't b/c not hungry and nowhere to put it in the new stomach. You Simone fine....I promise!!

I'm 5+ months post op, at times I get a bit hungry but nothing like before surgery. Don't worry after surgery the you will not even think of food !!!

Yup - you really do stop being hungry, at all, for a period of time following surgery. After it's had a little time to heal following your surgery, it's your new pouch that will tell your brain when you're full. And when you get full, you'll definitely STAY full for a long time. It don't take a lot when your stomach is the size of an egg!! Lol. You're gonna love the new you!!

I'm usually 4 bites max. I only get hungry if I choose inappropriate foods. Still with your diet. It will work. And if you try and eat more than you should you will throw up :/
