I did lose hunger when in the green zone. I enjoyed food when I ate it but didn't feel hungry and often forgot to eat.

food became very much like having a nice massage. Nice at the time, but if it didn't happen, I didn't really think about it at all.

I have not experienced real hunger in over 2 years now....

Most days I forget to eat anything between my Breakfast smoothie and dinner....

I have gone full 24 hour days and forget to eat anything, especially if I'm pre occupied with something like hiking or out on the boat fishing....and it des not bother me

I wish I had! I'm nearing my three year anniversary and sadly, I still do get hungry.

To be honest, now that I think about it, not like I used to though.

Banded nearly 10 months now and I still get really hungry. Don't think it was as bad as before though.

Hopefully a few more fills and ill get there!

My stomach is growling as we speak! But it only gets like this first thing in the morning since its been 12 hours since I ate and I've been up 2 hours already. It knows its time for food! But after breakfast, I eat because I'm supposed to. I sometimes flat out forget to.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
