When did you feel hungry again?
Just what the title says. How long after surgery did you start to feel hungry again? Not head hunger, but "I need to eat" hunger?
My journey: http://avabyrd.wordpress.com/
I felt hunger from day 1. Not head hunger but i need to eat hunger. Yesterday for some reason i was hungry all day. No matter how much protein i got in it just didn't do the trick. Today is a better day. had my protein and so far so good.
I have read a lot of post and it seems like there are so many like me and there are so many that don't feel hungry at all ever... (wish i was one of those)
Good luck!!
I am 8 months post-op and haven't felt hunger yet, at least not as I used to know it. For the last month or so I have been getting this sick feeling in my stomach, for what I have determined, is when I am hungry. If I eat something when I get that feeling, I feel better right away. I used to get a sick feeling when I went too long between meals before surgery, so, I guess that is what is happening now. Although, I generally eat every 2-3 hours, so, I am surprised to get that feeling so quickly. The only thing I can of is, because I eat so little now at any one meal, it doesn't keep me as full for very long now.

I don't have a true hunger feeling. If I wait a while to eat I'll eventually feel what I call a dull ache (empty ?) feeling in my pouch. Now some days I can and want to eat, if I get really busy I forget to eat until I realize how long it's been.
