It was more like 6-8 weeks before I starting having a feeling of fullness when I ate. Everyone told me it was due to healing, swelling, recovery, etc. Just stick to your plan, eat the right types of things and get the protein in. Getting the protein up has greatly helped me and has increased my losses. I healed faster and felt fuller because of the shakes/protein. NMost of the hunger I experienced was in my head. I actually missed sitting down to a plate of food. It took using a saucer and a smaller utensil to help me there. It is still a problem but not as bad now. Good luck to you.

I was hungry pretty early on, I felt it in my old stomach and my pouch was numb from having the nerves cut, so I didn't feel full until like 2 months or more out. Just be careful and you will be surprised one day when you swallow a few bites and suddenly you feel it.

I think I woke up from surgery hungry and have been hungry ever since! I wish I felt that satiated feeling that everyone talks about. I just make sure to measure my food so I  can't overeat too much!
