Ghrelin part of stomach gone?

[delta_girl 931]

For me, the most important part of VSG wasn't the reduction in the size of the fundus, it was the impact on ghrelin. Part of that is a mental analysis of hunger, head hunger, thirst, cravings, and an acute awareness. At 17 months out and 91 lbs lost and still losing, I supplement with foods that have a lot of Fiber or Protein. With that said, I also eat out constantly and am an avid fan of craft beers and red wine. Every time I feel something like hunger, I try to become very still and aware of what it really is. I still remember my surgeon saying to me, "So, what happens if you are hungry?" ....and I said, "I don't know?" ...he replied ..."Nothing."

delta_girl....I don't mean to sound unthankful because getting responses mean so much....

Your references to not concerned with size of fundus but was of impact on grhelin, & that you eat out constantly & fan of beer & wine, surgeons reply to do. nothing when hungry....no doubt,good advice & points made.
