The first few months I did not really feel hunger. I ate at scheduled times and had a set routine in order to get in all the liquids and Protein needed.

Now sometimes I get hungry sometimes I will forget if I do not tell myself it is meal time.

It is hard to say how it will feel for you when you are hungry. For me it is more that I can tell I need fuel than the old type of hunger. I try to eat before my blood sugar drops too low.

You will get used to your new tummies signals.

I am 6 months out and never feel hungry I actually have to remember to eat. I also can eat less now than I did at the beginning. I am at about a 1/2 cup.. Anything more than that and I am in agony. Lol lesson learned small plates haha good luck and happy losing!

It's really weird. I don't feel hunger either. I don't even know where my food is when I swallow it, it just disappears. With the band, I could feel it sitting on the band getting held back and then could feel it when it slid through. That's when I knew to take the next bite. With the bypass, I don't have that same awareness of how the food is traveling yet. I'm sure I'll get used to it :)

      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! 😞
