YES OR NO??????????

i thought that during the "honeymoon period", you lose your cravings and desire to eat. at least for the most part.

I had open RNY 3 weeks ago and I have lost my physical hunger but that "head hunger" and old habit of thinking you should be eating is still in the background.    It does get better as the weeks pass, but it is there.    The good thing is your so limited in what and how much you can eat that you have no choice but to listen to your pouch instead of your head. Good luck Sally 

I think the honeymoon period refers to the time after surgery when you loose weight rapidly. Its usually the first 9-12 months after surgery.

The surgery takes care of you're physical hunger for a while, but the head hunger and eventually the physical hunger does return. For me it was at about a year out for the physical hunger.

hI - I am 7 months post op - Right out of surgery I had no desire to eat .... then a few weeks post op HEAD HUNGER and the CARB MONSTER  creeped in. I still battle them on occassion ... but most days, I win For me ... I HAVE to make the right choices! If I don't I know I could easily gain.  hugs, Britt

Well for me I did BUT I was still fighting the emotional eating triggers! Some days are better then others but we have to get that under control for sure. ~hugs~

I think each one is different.  I know I HAVE to make the right choices.  I do not want to lieto myself or rob myself by putting food in my mouth when it is not what I need.  I had a few times this weekend that I stood my ground...I told myself if was going to be there later and I could have it when hungry.  I was able to tell myself that and sucseed.  It was hard for me...this was the memorial day of losing my 16 yr old son 2 yrs ago...then the dog died on me this morning.  So it was the first real thing emotionally that I dealt with and I won.  I refuse to go backwards.  I am overcoming this eating sidorder and I am going to win.  You can do it hun!
