The first few months I did not really feel hunger. I ate at scheduled times and had a set routine in order to get in all the liquids and Protein needed.

Now sometimes I get hungry sometimes I will forget if I do not tell myself it is meal time.

It is hard to say how it will feel for you when you are hungry. For me it is more that I can tell I need fuel than the old type of hunger. I try to eat before my blood sugar drops too low.

You will get used to your new tummies signals.

It's really weird. I don't feel hunger either. I don't even know where my food is when I swallow it, it just disappears. With the band, I could feel it sitting on the band getting held back and then could feel it when it slid through. That's when I knew to take the next bite. With the bypass, I don't have that same awareness of how the food is traveling yet. I'm sure I'll get used to it :)

      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.
