is anyone not hungry after having gastric sleeve surgery

[monicaleigh125 1]

ive heard that after surgery moist people are not hungry and have to make themselves eat. Is this true? Has anyone experienced this post op?

This is true. I am never hungry, not even in the morning when I wake up after not eating for several hours. I have an eating schedule that I follow during the day so that I can get in my Protein.

I have seen that many people on this forum say that they are hungry though, so I don't think that everyone who has been sleeved is never hungry, but I don't know why one person is and one person is not.

I do get hungry sometimes but not as much as I did before I was sleeved.

pre-surgery weight 325; surgery date 2/28/2013; surgery weight 307; 8 weeks past-op weight 281.4; 12 weeks post-op 274; 4 month post-op 266.2

It was only true for me for about 3 weeks. At almost 4 months post op, I am hungry all the time :-(

I hope its that way for me! Im hoping to have surgery soon just waiting on insurance approval. I go for my first appointment with my surgeon next Friday... I just hope I fall into this category because that's my main problem now is hunger

I am 6 months post op and NEVER EVER HUNGRY....I have felt my stomach growl a few times and thought "What is that".... I have to REMIND myself to Eat and to Feed the Kids, Cause I forget 'cause I am NEVER hungry ....

I have had maybe 3 times in 7 weeks post op that I thought I was hungry. Before surgery I usually had trouble telling if I was truley hungry or if it was a digestion issue. Just like pre op I usually feel weak and shakey rather than stomach hunger.

I can honestly say any hunger I have is "head hunger".

Head hunger and psycho cravings start to subside. I am not hungry very often.

I'm 11 days post sleeve and haven't been hungry once! I'm hoping this never goes away!! Now, I can't say the pizza and fast food commercials don't still grab me a little bit... But, nothing like before!

I am 2 + years out... and after finding that I don't eat and began to look sick I realized I have to eat MORE!! So yes I am never really hungry and if I am.. ONE BITE of anything works! and it goes away. I have had to "make meals" to eat so I don't keep losing. So I think for some people it goes away!

Hunger returned for me around 3 weeks - but only if I go beyond 4 hours of not eating. I don't wake hungry in the morning though.

I get hungry but only a little - especially if I stay drinking and eat at regular times.

I am 4 months out...I do not get hungry. I know it won't last forever, but I hope to lose as much as I can while it lasts. Everybody is different. I've read posts from people right out of surgery who say they are hungry, so there is no guarantee.
