Someone else, who is never hungry. Since my gastric esophageal resection 2 years ago, there has been no sense of hunger. So it is up to me to make sure that there are regular small meals. That is the disadvantage. The advantage is there is no discomfort of hunger. Guess the stomach can’t shrink any smaller. Having been a vegetarian, since age 14, the ‘do not eat’ list has no real meaning to me…eat fibrous fruits and veggies. The only limitation is prior chemo induced changes…don’t like beans, which were once a protein mainstay, and most other foods. Have to make myself eat things no longer enjoyed to get proper nutrition. Weight hovers just 10 lbs less at 150 lbs. In the summer that drops a bit due to a lot of physical activity, which is the same as preop. No loss of strength.
Question: Have you had any resurgence of hunger feelings?
