I have no actual hunger.. like you my battle is in my head.. and will probably continue to be. I never ate cause I was hungry.. I ate cause I needed my friend.. food.. it was my comfort and shelter from the world... it continues to haunt me day and night. Now, don't let that statement fool you.. I love my surgery and what it has done for me.. what I meant was that I am constantly aware of the need for monitoring my intake. I'm very happy with what I've accomplished so far and am still going to lose about 45 - 50 more lbs... but I know that if I don't keep up with what I'm doing and keep myself aware of what I'm feeling and eating.. I could slip back. ok, long answer.. now the short answer.. no my tummy never rumbles and I am never REALLY hungry Jan 287/191/145

I had my surgery 1/6, and to date I have not had any hunger pangs! While this is wonderful for me ( I was hungry all the time before surgery and even if I had a large meal, I would be hungry and ready to eat again in 2 hours or so). I have had "head hunger" or smell something cooking and think 'oh, I want some of that' but not real hunger, or where my stomach was growling. I eat at normal meal times, because everyone tells me to eat 3 meals a day, and have protein drinks to get all the protein in, but hunger in terms of rumbling in my stomach, not at all. I am not complaining, but a few others I have spoken with think it is odd that I don't get hungry. Are there other non hungry people out there? Just curious! Sarah

Dont worry yourself. I think everyone is different just like we were before we had this surgery. Some days I eat all day and some days I dont. I am still not capable of eating what I use to eat..I ate a whole taco from taco bell and was still hungry and ate a few bites of something else. I use to eat about 4 tacos and some chips and a whole drink..you have good and bad days. happy and depressing. Email me anytime..Keep up the good work..This was a change of your life..it will work for the better. Tambra Blackmon [email protected]

That's great! I go on the 19th for my 6 month. I want to loose at least 10 more pounds before then. I am very happy for you!
