Are you HUNGRY

Dr Sosa in South Florida reportedly the best here states that patients are not hungry.  That is definitely NOT true for me.  What is your experience.

I'm not hungry, my surgeon was Dr Aceves in Mexico.

I get hungry and I am not quite a year out.  I try to eat small amounts every 2-3 hours.

Unless he's performing a different method for his surgery, I can't see how the surgeon makes any difference ...   I think "hunger" is mainly perception.

I read some people's menus who say they never feel hunger and I think "no wonder!"   I definitely do feel when my BS gets low and I NEED to eat but not sure that I even know what hunger is at this point?

Sure I get hungry.  Most RNY folks do, though some don't for the first few months after surgery.

I don't feel hunger pains like I used to. I just know the feeling that I now get when I know I need to eat. If I ignore it, I end up shaky. 

I'm just under a week out and haven't felt hunger yet... I have been around some amazingly delicious smelling food and had a craving... but it wasn't hunger. Someone told me that if you're hungry for a specific thing... That that's "head hunger" or a craving... still sucky, but not really hunger...

I didn't feel hunger for the first year or so.  Now I do.  My personality changes when I get hungry.  (according to those around me.  I don't see a problem.)  I also get shaky.  

I am 8wks out and I do get hungry but I'm quickly filled up and I don't get hungry between meals or anything just if something comes up and I haven't been able to eat 

I'm 4 months post op, and my hunger is starting to return.....
