:redface: Hey everyone i got banded 8/2/10 am having the worst day of pain,headace and i think am hungry.hav be drinking and all incld sugar free Jello but am still hungry what's up with that? can some one plz help explain

I was really stiff in the morning on day 4 and attributed it to the IV fluids leaving my body.

It could be that or dehydration, Vitamin deficiency, stress, etc...

Are you drinking at least 64 ounces of Water a day?

Have you been told that you can have Protein shakes or yogurt yet?

I was drinking Protein Shakes / Meal Replacements immediately after surgery and never hungry.

It could be that Bandster Hell thing that a few people have but 4 days seems a little early for that.

You're healing. You're hungry bc of your clear liquid diet...that would also explain the headache. I didn't stop hurting until the 5th day...that's when it got better for me.

Hang in there and make sure you are getting enough liquids in, the headache might be bc of dehydration...my doc had me drinking 64 oz of Fluid daily...and really still does!

Be prepared from now for the next 3-4 weeks its gonna be what we call "Bandster Hell" where you are hungry- and you will feel like you can eat whatever you want...but you have to remember that you are healing and NOT to push the limits! In 6 months, this healing period will seem like a distant memory.
