Newbie here!

Hello! I had a VSG on 11/29. So far I feel like I’m doing good, considering I don’t know how I’m supposed to feel. It’s so weird not being “hungry”. Although I feel like my new tummy is starting to give me cues. On mushy food stage right now. Hoping to be advanced at my second PO appointment today!

Welcome !!!! I had my VSG last May and I LOVED the feeling of not being hungry ! LOL My doc said it comes back except for a lucky few. Enjoy it while it lasts Jump in anytime with questions or concerns - we're here for you !

Welcome! Congrats on your surgery!! Yeah, I never lost my hunger but it sounds nice... Good luck with advancing your diet! It can take a few months for those tummy cues to all come through accurately since so many nerves are cut and need to heal. But I certainly feel it when my stomach is ready for food!

I also loved not being hungry. It felt very liberating to me, and it was much easier to stick to my plan back then. Like most others, though, it eventually came back - at five months out for me (it usually comes back sometime during the first year post-surgery). Things do get harder once you start dealing with hunger again..
