Seems like the majority of posters here are women

I am two weeks post op and i have not found that the surgery has reduced my desire to eat emotionally...yet. But, I can see that because of the restriction I just won't be physically able to eat like I used to...so my brain has to move on, and that will take some time. Everyday it seems to get a little easier.

No, the surgery itself doesn't remove the desire to eat. Its not being able to eat much for the next few months that helps in that regard.

In my experience anyway. It SUCKED at first, wanting to eat but not able to. At around six months, the desire and amount are around even. I don't really desire more than I can eat at this point.

The sleeve and the bypass both reduce hunger greatly since your stomach makes hormones that send hunger and craving signals to your brain the surgery especially the sleeve cause with that they actually remove 80% of your stomach you produce a lot fewer of those hormones I had my sleeve 1-23-14 and I still DONT get hungry I only eat cause I have to now there are days not many when I can eat more than others but still not out of hunger

Eat 3 times a day two snacks one between Breakfast and lunch and one after dinner before bed time snacks MUST be sugar free low carb high Protein such as cheese PB2 yogurt

Only vomit when I eat to fast or too much dumping never in fact I wish I could some times cause I go 4-5/6 days without a BM

65% of people who get WLS are women. Drop in on a Weight Watchers meeting some day and take a count. Men are less likely to acknowledge that food has gotten the better of them and men are less likely to seek medical advice for any problem. I didn't decide to do this until I was 65 after sixty years of dieting. I had plenty of concerns and fears concerning the dangers of surgery, but in the end I tolerated that very well. It's the slow weight loss that's troubling me now. dlf
