Do you feel hungry? I don't remember feeling hungry so early on. I remember feeling full easy and it even caused me to stop drinking as much Water (Bad idea I got dehydrated of course) but its cause I was still swollen from surgery.

Main point. I don't remember feeling hungry. If you feel hungry and can't get the full feeling.

Surgery date 7/25/12

liquids go right thru.

And your pouch nerves probably are still not awake. Im 4 weeks today and never feel anything. No hunger or fullness.

I felt hungry at first so you're not alone:). And now after 6 weeks I hardly ever do. I just think the liquids were not so filling for me and of course everybody is different:)

My surgery was 4/1/13.

I never feel full or hungry. I have some head hunger of course, but nothing real.

You have to remember. Most or all of the nerves to your stomach were cut. Nerves only grow back so much at a time and sometimes not at all. A friend of mine had this years ago. She hasn't felt hungry since. So I guess everyone is different.

I felt hungry, I felt the doctor failed, and my body failed. I thought i would be forever suck in this fat body. But it was all in the head, I had to adjust to the new me. It's normal for some. But it's apart of becoming new

I'm never hungry at 6 months out. I have to remind myself to eat. I have head hunger but I ignore that. I do feel full real quick while eating.

I get some head hunger related to smells especially. But if I eat slowly and do lots of Protein I fill up quick. I really fill up quicker on hard protein like chicken than soft like yogurt.

      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.
