Scared to get hungry....



Recommended Posts

I posted this in the wrong forum so I'll repost here:

As most of you know that are reading this I will be getting an unfill tomorrow after about 3 weeks of suffering being to tight.

I'm so so so so scared that hunger will come back and attack me. I know that we should feel some amount of hunger, or how else would we know when to eat to survive. But I'm scared of the ravenous hunger that I used to have pre-band.

Is it just me? Am I being unreasonable???

Please anyone help put my mind at ease :blink:

You're not being unreasonable at all. First of all, it's going to make you feel so much better to get an unfill and get back to the point where you can actually eat something without it coming back up. Of course you're going to be nervous about falling back into bad habits or getting those hunger pains ... we're all nervous. But as long as you stay on plan I know you'll be fine. Plan your meals and also your Snacks to be full of Protein to help you from feeling starved. Good luck!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
