How does it feel not to be hungry? Surgery early October 2017

I have had all my test done. Ready for the okay for surgery. My doctor is looking at beginning of October. I have to self pay because my insurance company denied me. I'm trying to stick to the plan my doctor gave me. I get so hungry and crave sweets and starches. So hard to believe one day I won't be able to eat as much as I do. What does it feel like not to be hungry? Is it a nausea feeling or is it a phentermine type of feeling? Just curious.... my hats off to all you that have gone through surgery. I will join you all soon, but until then...[emoji28][emoji28][emoji28][emoji28]

Some people claim to still be hungry. I say it's more head hunger.

The first 2 years I ate on a schedule, just because I wasn't hungry. And yes, more of a phentermine type of not hungry for sure. I wasn't interested in food on phentermine, and I wasn't interested in food the first year after surgery.

But a word of warning: Head hunger is real and after our "honeymoon" period is over, cravings and hunger do return. So TAKE ADVANTAGE of that glorious non hungry time while it lasts and make the best of it to lose the most you can! ?
