I am lucky so far to not have any physical hunger. I was just wondering how many others have been so lucky, and how long it has lasted for each person.

Thanks for your input

Well... I put that I lost it after surgery and got it back within 1 year, but I feel I need to qualify my answer. I'm only 2 months out and I get hungery when I don't eat. Its a very "normal" kind of hunger. I just know I need to eat and its no big deal.

I don't get anything near the hunger I had pre surgery. I always felt like my stomach was empty and if I would get horrible bouts of hypoglycemia if I went too long without eating. I have had 0 incidents of hypoglycemia since surgery and I am full and satisfied 99% of the time. I really like the reamaing 1% of the time when I do feel hungery. It feels very "normal" and it is easily satisfied.

      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.
