After surgery I was wondering if you dont feel as hungry anymore? I was reading another topic that said that  she had to weigh her food to let her know if she was full. I was just curious what eating is like after surgery?? I only have two more months of the diet.

It will take time to heal after the surgery - many surgeons make their patients weigh/measure food for a certain amount of time to ensure their stomachs heal and they dont cause any damage internally. It was not until about 5/6 months out I could tell when I was full/satisified. Before that I was either ok, or I ate too much and got a horrible pressure in my chest.
As for hunger - not everybody loses their hunger... some do, some experience a decrease, some its exactly the same. Of those that do lose it or experience a decrease that can change at any time. As for me I am 2.5 years out and rarely feel hungry - however I do eat every 2-3 hours, meet my nutritional goals daily and eat balanced meals to keep hunger away.
At this point I eat like 'normal' I can tell when I am full/satisifed... cant really explain it any other way... I never felt full pre-op so its a pretty neat feeling.

believe me when you are full you know it!!!!.  don´t worry about that your body will tell you what to do. you just have to learn to listen.

i personaly in the 1ths couple of months did  never got full. i just did not want to eat more. now that i`m 9 month i can eat like a normal person and enjoy food. don´t worry its easy than it seems i promise.

hugs.
