I am almost 8 weeks out and I still don't have much of an appetite until I force myself to eat.. then I feel hungry while I am eating but not all day! I kind of hope that it stays like this!

I am over 3 months out and some days I have it and some days I don't. Yesterday I only got 300 calories in cause I was busy and not hungry and I wasn't paying attention.

I'm 3 weeks post RNY, and I believe I'm experiencing hunger. For me, my MIND's hunger is massive, so I know part of it is simply the habit of eating at certains times of day or my taste buds kicking in in reaction to a smell. That said, I'm also feeling physical hunger to the point that my stomach is growling. The major difference post RNY is that I may think I could eat the entire kitchen, but I simply cannot. I find the 2 Tbsp of allowed grub leaves me as full and satisfied as I used to feel after multiple trips through the buffet line. (I know what you're saying about 'negating the purpose of the surgery' as if your appetitie has not been lessened. There have been others on this forum who expressed the fear that they were the only one for whom the surgery was a failure.)
So far, I find that being sated with so little is the miracle of the surgery, in my opinion. Of course, the rapid weight loss is also a miracle as I did the liquid diet and worked out and STILL only shed 18 pounds in three months. The speed at which my body changing now is fabulous.

I am 3 months out and I am now starting to actually get real hunger signals if I havent eaten in awhile. It isnt really the stomach growling that I used to have...but more of a dull ache and sort of light headed feeling. My "head-hunger" came back really early though! Unfortunately the surgery does shut that demon down...it is still a fight. At the the good thing about it is that if I do give in to a snack it is usually a healthier one now and only a few bites. I do have to stay away from trigger foods still though. No potato chips allowed in this girls house!

Hi all. I am 9 years post RNY. I had surgery when I weighed in the high 380's As they say I lost the majority of my weight the first year. I don't recall ever being hungry (other than cravings.) Simply 'cause at almost 400lbs I never really learned what that felt like. My surgeon and his team yelled at me all the time post op that I was eating to much - a whole 1/2c six months out not a 1/4c like they wanted! But I could never manage the amount of protein he wanted in the small sizes that he wanted me to take in so...
