Honeymoon phase of not being hungry



Recommended Posts

Still not hungry at almost 15 months.

The honeymoon period however is over.

Not being hungry is cool, but I can eat a lot more relatively compared to first after surgery and eating had very little chance of causing pain anymore so I have lost some of my food aversion. I have to be mindful of my portions especially when I am eating out and haven't weighed my food, because I have more capacity.

Isn't it great??

I'm very rarely physically hungry at 2+ years out. Usually if I'm working out like a mad woman or have gone too long without eating is when I can honestly say I feel hunger. Otherwise I try to eat on a schedule whether I'm hungry or not just to keep satiated and not get to that hangry point and make bad decisions. A bit hungrier than I used to be, but nothing like before surgery!

5yrs plus out and still feel no hunger.

I eat on schedule----each day-----every day------365days/year.

I'm jealous! Hunger came back 6 months post op, have to eat every 4 hours. My capacity has also increased, so I am still measuring 1/2 cup per meal.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
