Why some days lots and some days not???

Ok, I have not had any issues really with this surgery.  One thing puzzles me though, yesterday I ate the same things as I ate today, only today I couldn't really eat.  I actually forgot to eat until noon (was busy with work) and then when I had my lunch and dinner, exactly the same as yesterday I couldn't finish.  I do measure things out, so that it isn't it.  
I find that some days I am hungry (real hunger) and I eat my tiny meal and other days, not interested at all.  
Anyone know why that happens?  Is it the Gherlin thing?
Thanks

It's the craziest thing, but yeah, it definitely happens. I see it for all surgery types especially through the first and second years.

I am over two years out and it still happens to me. I call them little pouch days. Some days I get full so fast and other days I can eat way too much.

I'm over 2 years out and I never really feel hunger but I still have days that I'm really tight.

I've found that Prilosec seems to really help with that.

Pre-op we had days when we weren't as hungry and days when we couldn't fill up. So I guess it's the same thing.

Yesterday I could have eaten a mountain. Today... the typical amounts that I generally eat. I just never know what it'll be.

For me preop was lots or more kind of days....LOL.  I am not hungry again today, so I will make sure I get my protein and liquids and just go with it!

It is truly a mystery. I was physically hungry all day today. I ate 4 ounces of ground turkey-veggie pasta sauce for dinner, and I could have ate more! Very strange. Anyway, time for elliptical!

Yep, same issues here. Seems I do have tiny tummy days when my period is over and bigger tummy days in the weeks prior. So weird!

It is weird and apparently common for all of the WLS.  I am not hungry again today.  I was wondering if it was my head hunger going away?  Oh well, I will definitely go with it as I was ALWAYS hungry preop.  Even when I said I wasn't, I just needed to wait 10 mins and I was good to go!
