Sabrina, I was banded on the 6th and I to am so hungry. I have been sipping slowly on my broth (yuk) and gartorade. Ice chips have also helped. Watching tv makes it worst for me. Never paid attention to how many food spots there are. -
For those with BMI 35-40?
forme replied to ronwifey's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 5'5 and 220. When I told my friends, I had people just laugh and then say Oh your not that big. I can hardly walk and I am in pain all the time. I have back problems and even telling people that I am tired of being in pain still did not change their minds. I really do not care at this point. My husband is very supportive and is happy that I did it. (11-6-08) My husband wants me to be around for him and my kids. I want a life and I want to feel good about myself. Society is so judgemental. When I told my husband I did not want to tell anyone because of the comments that I will hear, he said they are just going to be jelous. I want to have quality of life and not just be here. The band does not make the weight fall off, it is only a tool and you will still have to work for it. Getting the band is to help you live a longer, happier more fulfilled life. We have the opportunity to live a life and be healthy. Come here for support and do not tell anyone and when they ask how, just smile and say just watching what I am eating. Not lying. Good luck, -

Good I really am glad. I just keep thinking how different we will all look in a month. It will so be worth it. -

That really sounds good. It is comforting that you were able to eat and not get nauseous. Yea!!! I had my surgery on the 6th and I will be on clear liquids until tues. I will be happy to have some texture to. Are you still feeling ok. -

My friend tried oatmeal after 1 week and said it was a big mistake. I am still on liquids. I sip my chicken broth slowly and this is helping my growling stomach. I have not tried crystal light yet. I to am so afraid to try anything new. I do not want to throw up. -

I was banded on the 6th and I am finally cutting back on my pain meds because I to hate to be in pain. I am still hungry. I am only doing clear liquids. I really want this to work so I will keep with the liquids. Hungry for a week will feel good, for a life of healthy living. -

I am new. I was banded on Thurs. I have lots of pain when I try to sit up, but I found that laying flat on a heating pad helped with the gas pain. I to am so hungry. :eek:
