leahkayy 7 Posted May 5, 2013 I had mine on 4/15. I'm the same way. There's days where I can't stomach anything just because I'm not hungry at all. I hear it takes a few months to get the "hunger pains" back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TinyMamiOf3kids 1,280 Posted May 5, 2013 It's very normal. I wasn't hungry for about 3/4 months. Then my appetite return about 4 1/2 months but it wasn't like I can eat a whole lot. I can eat more now at 11 months post up but I never eat to the point that I'm in pain or full to max. I keep my self at a limit amount of food. Example 1 cup of rice or less 1/2 cup of Beans, and 1/4 meat or sometimes 1 cup of beans,and 1/2 cup rice, and 1/4 or a little more meat. salad 1-2 cups with meat on top. Takes me a while to drink a large drink. I can gulp down Water but I can't fit 8oz in one setting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms. Mandy 14 Posted May 5, 2013 I'm glad to see I am not the only one that has the hunger pains back! It worries me but I know that I have control over it ... Just scary cause I don't want to give in!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
purpleamy 7 Posted May 6, 2013 My surgery anniversary (1 year) is coming up this Wednesday. I have no hunger pains and I still have to force myself to eat the recommended daily Protein. Blessing or curse? Not sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saramichelle 127 Posted May 6, 2013 Sounds like a little bit of both:) but hopefully more of a blessing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shyanne 198 Posted May 6, 2013 I was about 3 or 4 months out before I actually could eat a variety of things and get my Protein in and was a little interested in food. So you are TOTALY normal :-D Even a year out I don't get actual hungry often and it's odd and almost unrecognizable when I do feel hungry lol It takes me a minute to realize what's going on :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dorian 683 Posted May 6, 2013 I was about 3 or 4 months out before I actually could eat a variety of things and get my Protein in and was a little interested in food. So you are TOTALY normal :-D Even a year out I don't get actual hungry often and it's odd and almost unrecognizable when I do feel hungry lol It takes me a minute to realize what's going on :-) The first week after surgery, I felt I was hungry. Was eating three meals and never felt full. This week (2) I have to force myself to eat something to get Protein in. So weird to NOT be hungry! Never thought that would happen to me!
