How many days after surgery did you start to feel hungry?

I'm just curious I got my band yesterday no nausea or anything just gas lol and I just eat cuz I need to get something down but not at all hungry wondering how long that will last :cursing:

For me it was 9 days exactly :cursing:

5 days where I just ate/drank what I had to... a couple of days feeling happy to have shakes and then hunger set in. But it has been manageable and I have stayed in control. My first fill is this week and I am happy about that. I liked the promise of not being hungry and I am ready to feel that!

I was hungry pretty quickly- I'd say about 4 or 5 days after surgery.

My stomach was growling a few days after surgery but I really started getting hungry about 9-10 days out...but I really only had about 4-5 days of fighting hunger than I could start mushies and that helps alot..not near as hungry now that I can eat some stuff...but now Im hungry all the time and feel like I can eat anything..and it sucks!

Im 11 days out and today hunger has really set in. I get to start soft foods tomorrow so hopefully that will help some.

Seriously Honestly it was the day OF surgery that I was hungry! I was shocked and a little mad lol. Bandster hell started for me probably about 5 hours after surgery.

4 weeks and counting for me... no hunger & fairly tight restriction

About 5 days, which makes it a long time until you can get a fill. However, have been through this before (my band slipped and I had to have it reset), and look on the bright side. Once you can start getting fills, you will never be starving again. You'll get hungry, you'll eat a little, and you'll feel full! I can honestly say this is the first time I've really been starving since I had my first surgery 2 1/2 years ago! This is how the rest of the world lives!!!

Six days out and nor hungry yet. Feeling much more human today. Yesterday I was getting there but today has been great so far.

Today is my 8th day out and I'm STARVING. I started to feel hungry yesterday, had a headache all day and everything. I can't start mushies till next monday. I literally dreamt of pureed foods last night. lol

OMGEEEE! I thought I was the only one that began to feel hungry the day of my surgery! It has been hell every since trying to eat healthily and not be hungry. I went for my first fill and I am still too loose and still hungry. My weight lose is at a stand still and I work out an hour everyday. I am not discouraged yet. I go for another fill on the 31st and this time I am full of questions about why I am going through so much hunger.:smile2:

I'm seven days out and not hungry at all...getting a lilttle worried i'm not getting in enough. I've read in another forum of two others that are on mushies already 6 days post op

my diet is

1 slim fast in the morning- takes me about 30 min to drink (used to be 5/10 mintues)

Jello or pudding and half can of tomatoe Soup or liquid or cream chicken Soup

the other half of the soup for dinner

(i will try and drin about 2 16oz of Water.plain or with crystal light)

Feel great though...all pain is gone!:smile2:
