Lack of hunger -- Cause of concern or celebration?

Over the past few months I've been slowly whittling down my last 40 pounds to goal weight. For the first three months of the year my weight upped and downed a bit, but from the beginning of April, it's been dropping fairly fast. That's because I'm hardly ever hungry. I don't feel sick, exhausted, or in any way unwell. In fact, I feel great! I'm just not hungry. Quite a few times, I've had to eat a quarter cup of peanuts in the evening because my calorie count was way below 600. 

Is this a common phenomenon at 15 months post-op? Do I need to be worried? or just ride the gravy train?

I am six years out and am never hungry. I eat every three hours , by the clock, or I would starve to death.

Nothing to be concerned about. My appetite waxed and waned quite a bit in the first couple of years and still does to some degree. Use this time to your advantage to get the last pounds off :-)

Honestly, for me eating has very little to do with actual hunger.  I would say enjoy it - for who knows how long that will last.

I'm 17 months out and am NEVER hungry!  On the weekends, my Hubby has to MAKE me eat.  I just don't think about it.  Once I went a whole weekend without eating.  (BUSY weekend)  I paid for it on Monday though.  I felt like crap!!
