Is it normal to "not feel" hungry...a lot at first w/ a fill?



Recommended Posts

I know thats the feeling they want us to have, satiety. However, I feel like mine is the extreme. I had my first fill last Tuesday but seriously.......I just feel no need to eat. Now mind you, thats my bad habits in the past. I could on my own go for long periods w/ out eating, and then over do it once I do eat. I guess making up for the lack of eating all day.

I know its a bad habit, but even today...I had a bowl of Cereal, which in a way I had to force myself to eat because I literally do not feel hungry.

I kind of feel like I could not eat for awhile and know I could. Yesterday I only ate twice, a late lunch (like 2:30pm) and something for dinner around 8pm. And fact is, I probably could have ate dinner and been okay.

Is this just part of the restriction from getting my fill?

At one point I was so "not hungry" that the thought of eating made me feel sick. I was forcing myself to eat one meal a day. My dr. kept stressing to me that I needed to eat in order to sustain myself. He even threatened to force feed my himself. My hair started to fall out because I wasn't eating enough Protein. I kinda like my hair so I finally gave in and we compromised on two meals a day usually like 6-8 hours apart. Oh how I wish that was the case now, I actually long for satiety...lol! I think this will probably lessen over time but am no expert on the subject just speaking from my own personal experience. Good luck :unsure:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
