Still feeling hungry after 2 1/2 weeks of surgery



Recommended Posts

I have followd the dr.s orders to the tee. The first week I lost 10 lbs but since then I have stayed the same. I am very frustrated becuase i am also feeling hungry but not eating anything that I shouldn't be. I don't have a fill until Jan. 19th. :unsure:

unfortunately this is waht they consider to be entering into bandster hell. Im 3 mos post op and think most go through this. doc says appetite comes back once swelling internally has gone down and band starting to heal in place. its something we have to go through. talk with doc. mine let em add more food after 3 wks cause I thought I was gone pass out from hunger. He made me promise not to gain weight. and also the weightloss post op levels off and often stalls. dont be surprised once u get back to full diet if you gain a few pounds back. its normal. I gained lost the same 4lbs for 6 wks

Yea, just be mindful of what you are eating but I'm sure you can add a little more. Exactly what you said, my book says 1/4 cup of food, I think i'd pass out! haha, but I've added a little more and i'm fine.

I am in the "bandters hell" right now. I was banded on 11/22 and won't have my first fill until 1/7. To be honest, I could eat a three course meal right now! The past two days I have eaten more than I should have and I feel extremely guilty. So, today I got back on track. This is a time when will power is all you've got! Hang in there.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
