I am a newbie, only being sleeved on 1/28. I'm already amazed how I am not feeling hungry. I have to watch the clock to know when to eat( well drink). I did have some head hunger while doing things where I used to pig out like sitting in front of the TV.

My question is does this no hunger feeling last? Or will I start to feel hungry but only be able to eat smaller portions?

Thanks!

Same here. A month out and still no real hunger. It feels strange to have to "force" yourself to eat when you're not really hungry.

The hunger is different... less 'OMG I NEED TO EAT' and more 'I feel empty and I should have some food'.

I was sleeved on 12/10/12 and just recently have discovered that I have to remind myself that I have to eat. Before recently, I was "so hungry" and wanted to eat every thing I saw. I didn't, of course, and have come to realize that I had a huge case of head hunger. So glad to be over it now, but it is weird how different it is compared to my life pre-op.

      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.
