is anyone else NEVER hungry after a b/p? even after i taste bile, flush, etc, i never feel hungry until maybe hours and hours later. i usually have urges to b/p again, but my appetite is low and i have zero physical hunger. does this happen to anyone else? is my brain "tricked" thinking i ate?

i have been literally having the same exact thing as you. strangely, when i first relapsed about a year ago, i was hungry after i purged, but now, that’s really rare. all i get are stomach growls lol. i have a feeling for me personally that it has to do with inefficiency after having to do this for so long (for binges where i have to rely on gag-reflex).

i’m not sure if it’s because we “tricked” out brain into we ate or not, but it is very much possible… it’s a strong thing

makes me scared i left food behind, but as long as im still losing weight i think im good. i honestly believe that our hunger cues are just super messed up😭

My experience has been that I‘m more likely not to be hungry after when I ate precisely what I wanted and when it is low carb

Yes I’m exactly the same. It’s not the same for everyone here and I did go through a fear in the early days that it was food left behind or I’d digested stuff but 7 years on I know that can’t be the case. Like you, I do get temptation to bp again but it’s not even close my regular hunger and I definitely don’t need to eat for hours after.

Same here. Although I have cravings, I don't feel physically hungry for hours, and even if I do, it's easily avoidable.

I've never been physically hungry after purging. It rather feels like I have a stone sitting below my sternum even though I know I'm finished. I get salt cravings after purging, but it takes a few hours until the gnawing hunger hits.

I wish I didn't feel hungry after I'm starving like 2 minutes after I finish purging. I actually feel more hungry than when I am restricting / fasting

 

[sofiaxoxoxx]

i feel you, it takes me about 3-4 hours to feel hunger again

 

[Bubbles1294]

Hypothesis only: I think it could be from the stomach acid circulating after b/p which may just put you off eating/make you feel a bit nauseous etc

Same tbh like 90% of the time I'm not hungry at all after BPing. I feel that my stomach is empty and I flushed excessively for over an hour so I know I got everything up but I won't get hungry for at least 4 more hours.

It's probably because our bodies just didn't realize yet that we purged everything it just knows that we binged on a ton of food and it probably takes a while until it realizes we didn't actually digest any of it.

On some rare occasions I do get hungry immediately afterwards I really don't know what's the difference then

YUP. i feel "empty" and wanting more, but certainly not hungry. my appetite usually drops too but id probably do another b/p round out of boredom and habit

I don’t know the exact science of it but it’s something to do with the release of neurotransmitters that signal to your brain that you’re ‘full’ and they hang around for a while even after you’ve gotten rid of the food in your stomach and aren’t physically ‘full’ anymore!
