For me, there is a significant difference in "hunger" now. I can eat or not, drink or not-BUT, if I see something good, or smell something yummy-it's then that I think I'm hungry and want to eat it. It's the same for craving food with crunch or even just a little bit of substance to chew on.

The 1st few days after surgery I was always thirsty, that only happens at night now when I wake up and have to reach for my Water and take a sip necause my mouth is dry. I have to be cognizent of getting in my water and Protein, or I think I would go most of the day without much nutrition. Finding it crazy that I'm worried about eating over 450 calories....

So basically its mental? The "hunger" for something yummy? its not so much that youre really "hungry" & HAVE to eat something.

Thats how i think now pre-surgery i can eat something and i can see or smell something better and want to stuff my face with it, maybe old habits die hard?

I'm up late and can't fall asleep! I have to be up in 4 hours to get ready to go to the hospital. My surgery is the first one in the morning. My mind is just running. I'm just hoping for some peaceful sleep tonight. Goodnight all

      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! 😞
