So I see so many people talking about they feel hungry. I don't feel that way at all. I only eat because I know I need to eat. My relationship with food is totally different these days.

Am I suppose to feel hungry?

I'm 3 months post op . How much weight am I suppose to have lost. I'm defiantly a big numbers person. Uggggh!

You look like you are doing amazing!!!!!

I don't have much hunger either. Usually I just get head hungry. I'm still working on my food relationship. Enjoy that new relationship, it'll help you get through the harder parts.

Again, Congrats!

I am very seldom hungry either. Once in a while at night. I lost 56 pounds in 10 weeks! How much are you down?

I know I am only just 3 and a bit weeks out but apart from head hunger in the second week I have never felt hungry yet either and have to remind myself too eat.

It depends on the day for me. Some days I can eat little and don't care what it is. I fill up quickly. Other days I do feel some hunger. I started to pay attention on these days and have found that if I have not had any solid food I am more likely to be hungry. For instance, on day where I have cottage cheese for Breakfast and a greek yogurt for mid-morning snack, I will feel some hunger. If, on the other hand, I have a Protein bar for breakfast and deli meat or string cheese for a snack I won't be hungry and fill up quickly. It also depends on my activity level. If I do cardio and lift a little I will have some hunger because the metabolism is kicking in. Another thing I noticed is if I eat more than normal, ie have some snack at night, the next day I will be more likely to be hungry. I think it is my body going out of starvation mode because of the additional calories.

I record my meal plan in myfitnesspal the night before ..I am eating about 850 calories and approx 80 grams of Protein. Sometimes I have to eat my last meal and I am not hungry at all. Since I want to take in my carb and calories, I wIt a little while longer then have the last meal. I eat 4-5 times a day. I don't want my metabolism to slow too much ..so I eat what I have planned to eat. Some days I am not hungry and I still eat what I am supposed to for nutrition/fuel.

You are doing really good 50 pounds in 3 months.. So keep doing what ur doing. But just be cautious of not eating enough..

I had surgery 12/18 and weighed 260 now I weigh 204 or less not sure haven't weighed this week

I feltthe same way at 3 months post op. Now at almost 11 months post op I am starting to battle head hunger again... I know I am not actually hungry, but I often get the urge to snack... this surgery is a tool, not a quick fix. I am down 110lbs now. start weight 255 and currently 145

Nothing wrong with you. While some people still feel some hunger, the majority don't, or it is a pale shadow of its former self. You are doing great!

Hunger in some form may come back as time goes on, however, so build your good habits up now.

Hunger is pretty rare here too-- I love it!

Feeling the urge to eat, to drink water, to walk, etc are common amongst all patients. You are already 3 months post op so I think feeling hungry is a must feeling now. In my opinion you should get in touch with your doctor and discuss the issue with him/ her.

I actually was told the exact opposite by my PA and nut at my 3 month appointment. They were concerned that I was beginning to feel hunger. They said its probably gastritis and increased my Omeprazole dose. I think the OP should thank her lucky stars and enjoy it while it lasts. Unless there's pain or nausea or an inability to eat, then the surgery is doing its job.

What I call "hunger" now is actually a painful burning sensation. It is fierce and comes on me every 2/3 hours. I currently take omeprazole every day and it is SO MUCH worse when I forget to take my pill. But even with the pill, it is there.

So mainly, I eat to stop the burn. I am keeping it to under 1000 calories a day. I exercise for 30 min 3x a week. I had surgery 12/18 and went in at 263 pounds. I am now 219. I'm pretty proud of that 44 pounds!

I know there are those who have lost more in less time. I also know that age and stress have a lot to do with the rate of loss.

My PA actually increased me to twice daily dosing. Maybe ask your doc about gastritis, especially since it feels like painful burning.
