I'm 2 days post op , and watching my family eat dinner; I'm not hungry at all. But I feel like I should be eating- it's the weirdest feeling not to be hungry!

Only a couple of weeks and you can take a bite of what they are eating (as long as it is soft and pretty healthy!)

I know. That is one of the hardest things to understand when we are pre-op, that there are times when we won't want to eat, especially the junk.

Not being hungry is something no one could have ever explained to me before surgery and I would have understood. It is something you have to live.

I am 3 months I am never hungry, and unless I set alarms and reminders I forget to eat. I am behind on eating to day. It is a glorious freedom I never thought I would experience. They say it doesn't last so I am enjoying it while it does.

That is a wild phenomenon you are experiencing.

It kinda freaks me out at times.

i do still experience hunger.....10 days after being sleeved.....but it's usually in the mornings when I've not had a Protein shake for 12+ hours. As long as I have a shake every 6 hours, there is no hunger.

Hi :)

I think we've probably been sleeved around the same time so just wanted to ask about burping? Have you had burps after eating? It's really strange and embarrassing in public, don't know if I'm the only person..

I've had burping when I drink too much too fast. Still getting used to sip sip sip.

I also find that being the case, I am really finding it difficult to chew slowly. I guess practice makes perfect!

I burped a little in the hospital, but it felt great as it was a gas relief.

I have done so a few times since being home.

Surgery date was 10/13 for me. I haven't eaten anything other than Protein shakes since surgery. No real burping after them.

Here's the funny part. In the months leading up to surgery I was having quite a bit of audible gastric gurgling. Could be heard across the room, even. At the time I had a very large umbilical hernia that had worsened. It was repaired at the same time as my sleeve and everything has become so much more quiet. :D

When I talk to people about my surgery, I find myself constantly saying things like "it's so bizarre," or "I can't really explain it," when it comes to questions about hunger. I just can't wrap my head around the fact that I rarely experience hunger like I used to. I sometimes feel "empty," and I know I should eat, but I don't feel much desire to eat. It's such a welcome change from constantly thinking about food. I never thought I'd be someone who could actually eat primarily for fuel, and not for pleasure.

I am so glad that I searched for this topic, because it is just within a few days that I actually started to get hungry. Today is my 2 week "sleeviversary". This morning I got blood drawn and I had fasted and I was hungry going there. Couldn't wait to get to work to have some food. I guess I am on target as far as the healing process goes; but I realize of course all is different.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
