Funny you would state 4 months. I became hungry at exactly four months. Had some cravings pretty much for my first time, ate some icecream, went to a support group and GOT A GRIP on ME.

As far as regular hunger, I just got use to it, I drink more Water, I still am eating a 1/2 cup of food, anything over that amount I feel nauseous so I am thankful for that.

Also, whenever I get hungry it is usually time to eat, ya know sometimes when I am out in the world I forget to eat so overall it is not a problem.

Head hunger can be a problem but I do my best to control it and if I don't bring the food home my success rate is great.

I am for months out now myself and I've found that I'm not hungry anymore. After my surgery I was so hungry so the time but now I have to remind myself to eat. It's crazy also cuts I can eat more but I find that eating crunchy foods is much easier for me.

I am almost 3 moths out and was feeling so hungry at the very beginning as well and it seems the hunger is finally slowing down for me too! So glad you posted that!

I am 4 months out and have a lot of hunger. It isn't a severe as before surgery, but it is real. I find that sipping Water will sometimes make it go away, if not, a couple of bites of a Protein Bar usually works. It is a little disappointing because I was lead to believe that I wouldn't experience hunger after surgery.

      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.
