    I am on week 2 of my pre op as well. I cant say that I am hungry all the time, but I do have urges for real food a lot. I have figured out if I drink some cold water or crystal lite and pick up a yogurt or a sugar free jello or pudding, it helps curb the need to shove something bad in my face.

    I had to hunker down and stick to this if I didnt want to continue the path that I was on. You have done so much to get to where you are, just 8 days away. Dont get distracted from your goals.

    Trust me on this, you won't feel hungry that much. When you do, it will not take much to fill full. But watch out for what the brain tells you as your stomach it what is really in control after surgery. When you get there, you will know what I mean.

    Chief, I agree with you. All my life, I have experienced real hunger pains which seemed almost constant. I would eat and be full, then an hour later, I'd feel real gnawing hunger again. It was so hard to be disciplined when you are feeling that constantly.

    5 weeks post op, I can tell you that I have very few feelings of hunger no matter when I last ate. I get an empty feeling when it's been hours but a true gnawing hunger doesn't really happen. And when I do feel a nagging feeling of emptiness, it takes virtually nothing to stop it. I can drink crystal light or eat a couple spoonfuls of cottage cheese and it's gone.

    I feel like the loss of hunger misery is the best part of the surgery...that and the 25# I've lost.
