I'm assuming you meant breakfast to lunch. Why did you have trouble?

[alindsey 230]

I was just starving I'm not sure! Im trying to cut back in these months before surgery. I really hope after the sleeve my hunger isn't so bad! I hope once I know I really can't pig out because of my sleeve I'll just get it off my mind!

Part of what you learn with the sleeve is to make your meals count. It may have just been a mental thing today. However part of hat you learn is how to make meals count. You'll have limited space so you finds filling foods that aren't high in calories. Don't worry unnecessarily, today may just have been an off day.

If it helps you any, I haven't felt real hunger in over 2 years. From time to time I feel some sort of hunger-like sensation but for the most part it's my mind saying its time to eat. I'm never really hungry. It boils down to if I have room to put any food in my stomach. I thought it was surely an overstatement when they told me they remove the part of the stomach that signals hunger, but its true. I guess some people feel hunger after surgery but not all. I don't even remember what its like to feel hungry.
