I guess I'm lucky...since my surgery 5 weeks ago, I have no appetite and no hunger..Once in a while I think I'm hungry, but then I eat a couple bites and I'm like, "yeah, I'm good."

[Brownsleeved 6]

My nurse said its because of the liquids. I guess when we get to phase 3 we should get that full feeling.

I'm four weeks post op and I am always starving my problem is I can still eat whatever and I never feel full..I think the surgeon forgot to remove my stomach

Haha I feel the same way. And the cravings come from the lack of fullness.

[brendajo 6]

That is exactly my problem. .I think because I have never experienced the full sensation so I'm always snacking. ..so how do we fix this

Are you allowed gum? I’m not but perhaps you are.
Also, popsicles... ice chips (last longer than water)

In the first few months acid can mimic hunger. If you aren't on a acid blocker ask about one (omeprazole, protonix) if you are ask about an increased dose.

The gnawing feeling an empty stomach full of acid produces feels a lot like hunger.

You need to make sure that you are following your plan. It does get better once you are back on solid foods. I was never that hungry at first, but by about 4 weeks post-op my hunger returned. Just make sure you stay away from slider junk food. Those types of foods will not help you achieve your weight loss goals.

If you must snack make sure it is healthy. A certain amount of will power is necessary to make the right choices. You can do this. It is all about staying motivated to change.

Maybe it’s just habit you have to break and retrain your mind?
