Question About Hunger

Fam,

How long did it take for your appetite to return post-op?  Trust me, I don't miss feeling hungry AT ALL!  But it's hard to remember to eat when I don't feel hungry.

(Did I just say "it's hard to remember to eat"?  Who would've ever thunk it!? )

Thanks! 

i think it took me 4 months out when my hunger started to creep back in slowly

Ahhhh....those were the days, lol!  You know....I actually think I went for about a year post-op, I was so mindful, followed all the rules. 

But now?  Oh lawd!  Just kidding, I still do pretty well.

Oh to not feel hunger .  can't wait!
Think I'm hungry now. lol

I'll be 4 years out in August and I still don't have a steady appetite.  However, my pouch (affectionately called "lil hooka") is very strange and sometimes if I don't remind myself I'll forget to eat.  Most surgeons say you should expect the honeymoon phase to last 12 - 16 months then you should expect some sort of appetite return.

i am eight weeks post op, and i just noticed today for the first time that i want a mofo hamburger  .


now i gotta go to sleep with a cheeseburger on my mind

Hey Doublw Oh...I just started feeling hunger in the last week...If I do not eat anything which occurs frequently I may feel a little hungry...It does not take much to satisfy my hunger...I am sure that once I get back to work on Monday I can get a steady routine.
