you don't say how far you you are, but your sleeve elimenated the gherlin-making portion of the stomach so you probably shouldn't have an appetite. I eat by the clock or I know it's head hunger I am feeling.

I'm four and a half months out, 58 pounds down. I definitely have had an appetite in the past. However, I think I know where this is coming from. I've had a bit of a stressful week.

Ahhh now I see. The same happened to me. I was so worried earlier this week about not eating (almost 6 months out) that I was tempted to go to my surgeons office. With me, I was reallly really stressed out at my job. Literally I would take 2 bites and would be STUFFED, I felt like my food wasn't going down, and I simply just didn't have an appetite. This rarely happens. Finally after talking to someone we attributed it to my stress at work (ICU nurse), and the last few days I've been off I'm eating back to normal. I have noticed now that the more anxious I get, the less I want to eat. As to before, I would eat anything and everything no matter what the situation was.

I'm definitely like that when it comes to anxiety. My stomach just shuts down. I think I'm decompressing ...

It'll pass.  Just remember to be kind to yourself and take care of yourself.
