Hi everyone

This is my first posting, hope I'm doing it right.

I had my sleeve surgery 12/2/15. It'll be four weeks this coming Wednesday!.. I have absolutely no hunger at all--- is this normal? I really have to fight to get in the required grams of Protein and can't stand those Premier Protein drinks any longer.

I'm not sure what normal is, but I was sleeved 1st October and have absolutely no hunger - I eat mainly by knowing what times I should eat to keep my day balanced.

oct 7th sleeve. i was the same. and even now, when i get "hungry" i have no appetite so nothing sounds good. i literally eat just to keep from starving. not enjoying food right now. i'm with alwtg. i eat to live and by setting times. sadly i still have to count on premier Protein shakes just so i can keep fueling my body and losing weight.

How much have you lost. ..going from a life where everything is about food to not enjoying food is hard

How much have you lost. ..going from a life where everything is about food to not enjoying food is hard

it is hard. i have so much more time on my hands i barely know what to do with it. ive lost almost 40lbs. i work out a lot now.

Just after surgery and up to a month ago I had to remember to eat. I set my alarm for meal times.

Now 5 months after surgery I still don't have hunger but all of a sudden my body tells me I need to eat. It's hard to explain but it's working for me. I have cut down from 6 meals a day to 3 and one snack.

Isn't it great??

The part of the stomach that has the hunger hormone ghrelin has been removed. Part of the reason the surgery works as well as it does to lose the weight. But fear not, it seems to be temporary. Some people feel no hunger for years, some it comes back in a matter of months. Either way, take full advantage of it while you can to change your relationship with food and learn newer, healthier eating habits. That way when the hunger does eventually return, you will have a good grasp on what it takes to maintain a healthy weight

Hello all,

I was sleeved July 27, 2015. Initially, I was not hungry at all. Now, 5 months later and close to 60lbs down, I do get hungty. However, a few bites of food satisfies me. I ate more than the norm during the holidays, but still lost weight because of my choices and gym workouts. Good luck to you all. We can do this!

Hang in there. I'm at week 5 after surgery and now that I can eat some things, the one shake I have for Breakfast is not too bad. I have no hunger at this point either and I'm taking full advantage of it!

When can I eat a turkey burger, or Mexican food (aside from refried beans), or a small piece of pizza. ..or a,sandwich. ..is this where I have regrets I did the surgery?

I will be three weeks post op on Wednesday and I am pretty sure I am having hunger pains. I wake up in the morning with this really painful sensation in my stomach which I think is just the new way of me feeling hunger. Based on what I have learned so far about VSG it affects everyone differently. At first I was not sure if it was hunger, but since it has been happening every morning I think that is what it is. Just my thoughts.
