Never Hungry.

[brimm_brittany 45]

Hello all,

I'm 6 days post op Gastric bypass, and I am never ever hungry. I've been forcing myself to eat a few sips of Protein shakes and some sugar free Jello. The thought and action of eating makes me physically nauseous. I've been taking my anti nauseous medicine, but I don't feel like eating at all.

I've been trying to get my fluids in...I generally do okay.

I guess I just wanted to know if this is something everyone deals with or if it's normal?

be glad for it and milk it for everything it's worth. It's super easy to stick to the food plan when you're never hungry. There are a lucky few whose hunger never comes back (I hoped and prayed I'd be one of them), but for the vast majority of us, the hunger does come back - anywhere from a few months to a year later (mine came back at six months out). After it comes back, it becomes more of a challenge to stick to the program -because you're hungry!! (although most people say their hunger is not as intense as it was pre-surgery). It will never in your life be easier to lose weight as it will be the next few months - so take full advantage of it!! (but do make sure you get all your nutrients in - you want to stay healthy!!)

p.s. the nausea should go away soon - I only had it the first few days post-op. If it doesn't, call your surgeon's office.

Let me assure you, this is completely normal.

After RNY gastric bypass surgery, I completely lost my hunger. I found it was not too difficult to lose weight when hunger was not constantly, continuously gnawing at my bones. Before surgery, whenever I was eating, I was already thinking about what my next meal would be. This condition of no hunger will last for about a year and then hunger will return, but it will not be as strong as pre-surgery.

I had a hernia repair and RNY 8/3/16 and have not felt hungry at all since. I theorize that I had the benefit of hunger center intervention through the procedure. Instead I will lose focus/energy; dizziness; cloudiness as an indication to eat. There are other signs and symptoms. Listen to your body.
