Never Hungry!

[sbagby1960 65]

I'm 5 weeks out. I'm never hungry. I have to remind myself to eat. I get all my fluids and Protein (shakes) in. When I make myself food, I eat about 5 tiny bites and that's it. I couldn't care less about food. Is this normal?

[BLERDgirl 6,417]

Yes. I went through a period where I had no interest in food and just ate because I needed to.

What are you eating? Maybe I need some new things to try.

I did too and that lasted about 6 months. Not so much anymore. I still can't eat much so it's working but I do get hungry now.

Yes, went whole days without eating if I was busy. I had to think about it.

I am 11 weeks out on Thursday and apart from the few 'head hunger' episodes I had early on, I have never felt hungry. I have to plan my work day out and keep an alarm on reminding me to eat or I would just carry on working and forget.

Even seeing other people eating doesn't bother me. I know this will change in time but I am LOVING it right now

I'm a year out so I can eat pretty much anything. I will say the no appetite days were mostly Protein Shakes & Soup

Isn't it a strange feeling? Never thought I would "not be hungry"

I just started to get hungry again - at 6 months out. For the first 6 months I ate on a schedule otherwise I would not eat at all.

One thing to note - if I thought I was hungry before I really was not - that was my "head" telling me it's noon and I should eat. So start to learn how your body is now with the pouch. Head hunger is different than pouch hunger. This took be about a month or two to learn the difference.

I wish I had this problem! I'm 6 days post op and feel hungry all the time :-/

I've got some hunger back at 7 weeks, (and no it's not reflux or thirst or head hunger for those who trot out that reply every time someone mentions they feel hunger

It's slowly come on recently, it's certainly not as strong as pre op but if i miss a meal or am a few hours late for one I feel some genuine hunger, it's manageable and doesn't take a lot to satisfy I can live with it I just preferred it a few weeks ago when there was nothing
