Will I Ever Feel Hungry?

[sid_n_reagans_mommy 114]

I was sleeved June 15, so I know only a couple of weeks out, so things can change. I have not felt hungry at all since surgery! I'm not complaining, but it is just so weird! Lol yesterday I got busy & preoccupied, so I forgot to eat a meal or two and once I started to heat up my Soup (right around 10pm) a terrible storm came through and knocked out my power! I wasn't about to eat cold soup, so I figured I would just not eat anything and go to bed! Before my surgery I would've been a basket case going to bed w/out dinner--now I just don't care!!will I ever feel hungry again?

Yes, you will feel hungry later out. When I skip meals I get all shaky and I start to panic. I know that I need to eat 3 meals a day, small ones, all be it. However, yesterday I didn't have lunch but i had some Snacks. So I was wondering why I was able to eat more at dinner. I didn't really feel full until about 20 minutes later and boy i was really feeling uncomfortable. I don't think I want to skip meals anymore. I will be diligent about getting food in my tummy.

I didn't start to feel "hungry" until close to a year out. I felt "empty" or had low blood sugar, and would realize once that set in that I hadn't eaten in hours. I am now close to two years out and if I'm not paying attention can go the entire day on my morning Protein only to realize when I'm shaky hours later that I've forgotten to eat. It's not a good habit, so your best bet is to watch the clock or set an alarm in the early days, and keep a Protein shake handy so you can sip on something with nutritional value all day long.

I haven't been sleeved very long but it is weird for me to when I have no appetite. My hubby is worried about cooking around me and I'm like, cook all you want. It doesn't appeal to me. Yesterday I didn't have any Protein broth until night and had the worst low blood sugar headache before I went to bed. I had to take some Tylenol.

Hello Cheri, good advise!!! I am getting sleeved on July 9th. How much weight have you lost total since sleeved?

I'm 18 months post-op and I don't get hungry. Like Cheri, I will feel empty and shaky if I forget to eat. It's a good reason to keep to a schedule of meals and to keep a Protein Bar in my purse for those occasions.

Very good suggestions! I just never thought I would see the day that I forget to eat! Haha

20 weeks out and still no hunger. I gurgle a little sometimes. But it is nothing like hunger pangs. I set my watch to alarm at meal times for awhile so I wouldn't forget to eat. I get as little woosey if I forget. Good luck on your journey to a healthier body and spirit.
