Hello and Congrats on getting the band. I am actually 3 weeks post op and I would say that I started to get hungry when all the swelling went down so probably like a week later. I think most of it was head hunger from seeing everybody else eat but I def started to feel it in the 2nd week.

I was hungry when I woke up from surgery... I cant say that the band has helped with my feelings of hunger but it has helped me not eat so much and has reduced the amount I eat over all.

My hunger came back 3 weeks post op. I wasn't prepared for it ( after not experiencing it for a couple if weeks ). But it makes me plan my meals so that I can make wise choices.

tomorrow I will be 2 weeks post op and i have no restriction. I am getting "kinda" hungry... But I think its because that was my old habit.. when i wasnt busy

I was eating- ya know.

Hang in there!

I am 8 weeks post-op and still have not experienced hunger again. I check with my doctor at 6 weeks when I got my 2nd fill and they said that is ok. I love not having hunger, I am dreading getting it back :)

I'm 4 weeks out... and now I'm starting to feel hungry. I do pretty good during the day...but at dinner, I'm really starting to notice I'm able to eat more than I expected. I haven't had a fill yet... I suppose feeling hungry is a sign it's probably time for that fill. I don't have an apt yet ... so maybe I should be calling my Dr. soon and check in with him.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
