Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 I definately did NOT feel hungry after my surgery, in fact its been months since then and I only occasionally feel hungry. What I believe you have is what they call 'head hunger'. Our minds are conditioned to want food (part of the reason we got this way in the first place). I know its hard but try to have patience and I bet once you see the pounds start coming off you will be soooo happy! I would recommend that you have you family not eat around you right now until you adjust. It may be the smells of the food that are getting to you or the feeling of missing out. Also, this surgery is not anything to take lightly. If you do not feel well you might want to put a call into your doctor or nutrionists office and just check with someone. That's what their there for. Keep us posted and hang in there!
