Recommended Posts

I had surgery almost a month a go. I do not feel hunger. I have had some "head hunger" where I just want to eat but that passes with drinking Water or eating a SF Popsicle. I LOVE that I can only eat 1/4 cup or less of food at mealtime. :)

I am 4 months out. I do get hungry. Starving, sometimes. But it's all over in about 6 bites.:-)

I didn't get hungry for about the first nine months after surgery but I do get hungry now. As long as I eat the right things to satiate the hunger -- meat and green veggies - it is very easy to just eat a little and the hunger goes away.

Ditto to bufflehead. I had No appetite first 3-4 months. Hunger definitely kicked in about 7-8 months, but Protein and veggies fill me up pretty quick. Head hunger and old cravings started about 10 months, but so far so good at satisfying those with healthy options.

i also had no appetite for about 3 months post op...then one day it showed back up!

the good thing, like others have said is that it takes about 5-6 bites and it's all good. i LOVE that.

i have also found that because my eating schedule was set to every 2-3 hours after surgery, i find myself needing to 'feed' about every 2 hours on que!~

I'm a 2-3 hour feeder, too. Have been from the beginning. Really no distinction between meals and Snacks.

You'll probably have a small window of a few months to get the new eating habits down pat. Learning to both want and enjoy eating healthy foods. Add in a few new snack ideas, like almonds and Jerky and you should be good for the long haul later on.

I'm not gonna blow smoke up your a$$.......it does get tough, so you have to as well. Hold on tightly to every pound lost and don't slide back into old habits. Your new eating habits will see you thru. ;)

I had my surgery just 5 days ago. Initially I felt a little hungry since I am still on liquid diet. But it's not too much, and I can survive. It is clearly old habits coming back, since I normally feel that only when I am alone at night...

I'm not sure if I'm hungry or not. I'm 5 days out today and was released on full liquids, but haven't really been exercising those options. I've been having a lot of stomach cramps, especially when drinking. I wonder if that's just what hungry feels like right now, because after a tablespoon of yogurt (on the "okay" list), the cramping stopped.

I'm probably a little too early to give you a solid answer, but I don't really get hungry. I'm 2 weeks post-op, so thats probably more normal. I get these little bursts of hunger that I think are more like rumbles in my stomach than anything, but they go away quickly so I'm pretty happy with the outcome.

      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! 😞
