When did you feel hungry again?

[PittGuy 201]

I am 6 weeks out and have felt zero hunger since the surgery. I am scheduling meals just to make sure I eat. I know everyone is different but when can I expect to feel hungry again. Or I guess a better way to ask it is when did you first experience hunger post op?

I think I was about 3 months when I started having a weird "hollow" feeling. Now at 4months I feel hunger again. Never as strong as before of course but its returned. I often would forget also in the early stages and then it's was more of the I just was blah on food.

I'm a year out and I still don't feel real hunger. I just have set eating times.

I don't feel hunger yet (three months out). I'm not missing it either. I could be very happy the rest of my life without it. So nice not to be controlled by hunger! I feel totally indifferent about food and am finally eating for fuel. I plan what and when and how much to eat and I follow the plan. It's liberating! And I can watch other people eat things I used to and not really care. I hope it lasts a long, long time! :-)

Im 4 months out and feel hunger occasionally. Not even every day. I basically eat because I know I need to. When I do feel hunger, nothing appeals to me so I usually just have a greek yogurt. Coming from someone who used to eat all day, it is honesty the weirdest thing!

I'm almost five months out and I still do not feel hunger. I need to do a better job planning meals.

At 14 months post op my hunger pains have changed. I can still go all day without eating because and not even think about it. It is more of an empty feeling in my tummy, but if I want to I can ignore it. If that makes any sense.

I am a little over 4 months out and as someone stated above the only hunger I ever really feel is that hallow feeling.. not the same as hunger. Nor do I feel full ever.

I still measure and eat, what and when, I am suppose to.

Its so weird how everyone is different!

Thank you everyone... glad it is the norm

im five years post op...+ can honestly say I have not been "hungry" once (nor have I heard my stomach growl/felt a rumble).

i call the feeling which I now think of as me hungry, "empty". which I guess is that "hollow" feeling y'all are mentioning. to this day, 5 years out, I can be caught saying (out loud) "I think I am empty". kind of feel like a gas tank.

I hope that's me too!

Hollow is a great way to describe it!!! I started just getting the funny empty feeling around 7-8 weeks then occasionally getting a true hungry feeling around 3 months. I eat Breakfast while driving to work (or drink breakfast) around 7:30, without fail around 11:00-11:30 I start feeling a little hungry. The rest of the time it's just the weird hollow feeling if I go more than 4ish hours without eating. I have a couple times gotten the ravenously hungry feeling....typically when I've been super active and haven't eaten in too long....the awesome thing is 4 or 5 good bites and ravenous is gone! No more stuffing my face and still feel like I'm starving!
