    Question "Hungry, Hungry, I am Hungry. Table, Table, here I come"

    "Hungry, Hungry, I am Hungry. Table, Table, here I Come...
    I could eat a goosemoose burger, 15 pickles and a purple plum
    "

    Silly, silly kids' song! But I hope this isn't a silly question...

    How IS the hunger??? in the days, weeks & months after surgery?

    I am two weeks post surgery and honestly I don't get hungry. I have to schedule my meals so I know when to eat.

    I don't get hungry like I did before. It's different now. I know I need to eat, but am never stomach growling hungry. It's more of an empty feeling, kinda hard to explain.

    For me the hunger never went away like the doctors said it would but once I was able to figure out what was head hunger and what was real hunger it made stopping when I was full a lot easier. I am almost 2 years out and I still have days where I feel like i cant stop eating but usually those days are the ones where I am super bored and I will take a bite of this and a bite of that which is so much better than it used t be where I would take a bite here and there and eat a whole cake.

    I'm 4 weeks out and I do have hunger feelings. Keep in mind that I am not on a full regiment of all real food yet. I'm in the baby steps stage.

    I have another month before I'm to release the majority of my protein drinks.

    Don't get hungry and have to remind myself to eat. Are you sure you're not experiencing head hunger?

    4 1/2 months out and I really don't get hungry. You do have to figure out appetite, head hunger, versus real hunger though. If I'm busy and distracted with work, errands, etc then hours and hours can pass before I realize I need to eat.

    Other times I just want to eat. That is still a problem (boredom eating, etc). I didn't become obese because I only ate when I was hungry! So while not often being hungry is awesome, the desire to eat, head hunger, appetite etc can still be there. I lucked out though in that even during the first month after surgery even my head hunger was turned off.

    It is still normal to get hungry after surgery ... I get hungry and i am 3 weeks post op it is just not the same kind of hunger as before surgery.. I see many people in here who think there is something wrong with them if they get hungry, but that is not the case... I have head hunger and real hunger too.... Right know i am hungry , two bites of something and it is over :-D I have different cravings then before surgery ,...

    I've been pretty hungry lately. I've actually gained a few lbs in the past few weeks. I need to get my ass back in gear. I am just over a year post op.
