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



Recommended Posts

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...

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! 😀

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
