VSG alters meal patterns. After VSG, rats consume smaller meals than SHAM (A, effect of treatment P = 0.0004). Dark phase meal number was increased following VSG (B, effect of treatment P < 0.0001, interaction between treatment and time, P < 0.0001). These meals were shorter in duration than those consumed by SHAM rats (C, effect of treatment, P = 0.0003). Ingestive speed for meals in VSG rats was unchanged (D, P = 0.0237), but overall time spent eating was greater for VSG rats (E, effect of treatment, P < 0.0001, interaction between treatment and time, P = 0.0064). Total food intake did not differ for VSG and SHAM rats (F, P = 0.2758).
