You really had some good questions and I am going to try to answer what it is like for me. First question about hunger, My mind is always hungry but after 5 months I know the difference if that makes since, I always think about food in my mind but stomach is not hungry. Second question, my surgery was good with no problems or complications so I felt like moving and doing things immediately, I believe that being active before surgery is a big help and helped me alot (walking). Third question clothes, When I realized I could fit much smaller clothes I was so excited, I danced around smiling and I kept saying thank you God......Yes! The first place I noticed I had lost weight was in face and neck. I have lost a total of 70 pounds so far and have 20 more to go.Everyone tells me I look smaller than I am and that feels great. I look forward to exercising now, I really enjoy it and do it 4x week. I am so thankful and blessed. My husband is such a great support of me losing weight and keeping me motivated to exercise. God's Blesings your way!! Hope this helps and make since.

Not feeling hungry has never happened for me. After surgery of course my appetite was non-existant, but 3 months out I started getting hunger pangs. So I ate. And sometimes they would come often, and again, I ate. It never hindered my weight loss in anyway either. I figured if my body is telling me it's hungry then..chow down, but only on healthy foods. My hunger is sated very easily and I know that's because of the surgery.

As far as the second question - I don't really remember a "magic number" per say, but I did notice is was a lot easier for me to get around, and have more energy 2 months out. Walking up the steps became so much easier and standing on my feet didn't hurt my back as much.

I danced when I put on clothing I wasn't able to fit into for a while. Yep. Dancing is how I celebrate. I did a little jig this morning after I come off the scale. 2 lbs lighter is worth a dance and a shimmy to me... lol

The weight loss has always show in my face first, but this time it's my derrier as well, which I'm soooo happy about. My butt had it's own zip code. Oh, and my hands.. I can actually see veins, bones and tendons which is so cool! I've always wanted slender hands.

Hunger- wasn't hungry at all the first few weeks.....now, 4 months post op, I get HUNGRY!, when it is time to eat, 5-6 bites later, I'm full and good to go for another 3-4 hours!

Energy - came around 4-6 weeks out.....and gets better every day! I LOVE it.....feeling more like myself again,..the younger, thinner self that is

Clothes - I purchased a pair of size 16 Jones New York Jeans about 8 years ago.....they still have the tags on them, I've moved 750 miles and into 3 other dwellings since I bought those.....and they followed me faithfully. I put them on, zipped them up about 4 weeks ago.......and that's when I cried. Today, I wear 'em and look damn good too!

I've lost about 45 pounds, first started to notice it in my face. Last night as the hubby and I lay in bed, he was looking down at me and I asked what he was looking at (afraid I'd missed a chin hair when plucking)......he just smiled and said......."your beautiful face. It's back."
