Loss of hunger after almost 2 1/2 mos post op

[dreamynow 136]

For the past 1.5 mos once I started real food ( after 1 mos post op) I was feeling starved before meals- in fact wrote about it many times. I had been losing 1.5-2 pounds a week starting 1 mos post op. In the last 5 days I lost my hunger. A few times i have gotten hungry, ate, and became full fairly quickly. I have lost 5 pounds in these 5 days. I forced myself to eat dinner tonight ( 4oz chicken and a few strawberries) because all I had was 1/4 cup chicken salad, a few gluten free crackers and 1oz of cheese for Breakfast and a WonderSlim Protein Bar. It’s just a strange feeling to not have a desire to eat- even on Halloween ! And my husband is nervous that I lost 5 pounds in 5 days when normally it takes 5 days to get 1 pound off or less. I lost quickly at the beginning which makes sense. Should I be concerned. I feel fine during the day- exercise, work, take care of family etc. I’m drinking all my Water too and taking all the Vitamins and prescriptions. Just wondering about the sudden change. Any thoughts??

Thanks

It was around the same time that I noticed the scale fell into the same pattern. 1 pound each week, then suddenly drop a bunch quickly. It's fine and normal.

Your appetite may be less because of things have now mostly healed and stomach irritation can actually cause you to feel hungry. (That's why we keep telling people that are hungry postop.. make sure you're on an acid med).

Just keep on meeting your goals, and everything sounds great! You are actually getting beyond the main stricture period as well, but it's always good to keep in mind if you notice a sharp decrease in the amount you can eat at a meal.. to pay attention. (Like, "I used to be able to eat 4 oz of this, but now can only ever eat 2") that's a red flag.
