So Darn Hungry



Recommended Posts

For the first time since i have been banded in August 2010, i have regained 2lbs. But that is ok, i can handle 2 lbs, the problem is that i am soooooooo darn hungry! I have been feeling like this for about 2 weeks, or right after the holiday! I did great for the Thanksgiving weekend. Now i feel like i can eat a whole person if they were on my plate! And to make matters worse i am not scheduled for a fill until Dec 20th!!!! HELP!!!!!

Call your doctor and tell them you need in sooner. If what you're feeling is actual hunger, then your band needs to be a bit tighter.

I was banded July 30th and I go through stages of being ravished!! I just had a really bad week of bein starving a couple weeks ago right before my 3rd fill. It really is hard but like Elfie said you need another fill. My doctor wouldnt do fills but every 6 weeks and wouldnt budge on that rule and I am even selfpay. If you can call them and get in sooner definitly do that. If not, just try to eat as healthy as you can and exercise if you are able to help. I am not sure how many fills you have had but I finally got my 3rd fill last week and it made a huge difference in my hunger!! hang in there!!

Hey guys, I went to the Dr. today and he agreed that i needed a fill. I have had 4 fills including today and a total of 5.5cc's so we will see. I was also told to watch my carbs. Now i am looking for good low carb recipes, any suggestions?

Thanks guys

This is where I've gotten a lot of my recipes. I like the fact that she comments on how they came out, whether they need to be tweaked, etc.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
