scarlep 68 Posted January 21, 2016 I'm two months post op 42 pounds down and lately I don't have an appetite ughh i have to force myself to eat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FrankyG 1,450 Posted January 21, 2016 I'd forget to eat a meal most days. Wasn't hungry, so lunch usually was remembered about the time I'd start thinking of what to cook for dinner. Since you lost the part of the stomach that produced the most of the hunger hormone ghrelin, you won't feel hunger hardly at all for a little while, and while it may come back eventually it might not be as strong (it is to be hoped anyway). So far, that's what I've experienced. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can drink drink all day because I get super thirsty just not hungry , hopefully it stays like that so I can lose weight faster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KindaFamiliar 3,867 Posted January 21, 2016 I'm 11 months out, nearly 220 pounds down and still have no appetite... As I've posted before, I get the fancies for things every now and then, but I'm yet to feel hungry... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ididit34 91 Posted January 21, 2016 I'm almost three months out and I have to make a conscious effort to eat although for some reason I can detect my body needing some sort of nutrients because I start to crave salt and crunchy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaPoppy 22 Posted January 21, 2016 I can go all day without eating because I am never hungry. I have to remind myself. I am almost 10 months out, so what you are experiencing is normal. No hunger is a blessing and a curse! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
