Hunger is a funny thing. Before the surgery it was the enemy, the nemesis. Now? Well they speculate the surgery changes you in ways they don't understand. In my case it absolutely did away with hunger. For life. In all honesty I have not been hungry since 2005. Not once. No matter how long its been since I ate last, what I had, whatever. Sometimes I remember being hungry, what that was like; sometimes I might smell a piece of meat cooking on the grill and I remember that it should taste good. If I go too long w/o eating I eventually feel kind of "run down" but no actual hunger. In truth, I don't miss it. Its kind of like sleep; if you didn't need it, I mean really and truly did not need it, imagine what you could do with your life? Never going to happen, I know but while I miss the social aspects of eating and as a chef I miss that part but I don't miss much of the rest.
