Hello-sorry you are having such a hard time now. I have not been banded yet so can't really speak to what you are going through. Try posting in post lap band discusion! Good luck

I was hungry on the clear liquids after a few days, too! It's probably a good sign, it could mean you're less inflamed, and it definitely means your body is on the mend. Once you go to full liquids, and it's not long now, it'll be A LOT better. They're very filling! Especially warm ones. So hang in there, you're almost there!

I was hungry that early as well. You just have to pull through this stage. It will be rewarding in the end. good luck with your journey welldoneclap.gif

I know where your coming from.The problem is you are detoxing too (in a sense) You have to get use to being hungry until you can really drink some good Protein Shakes which help kill hunger. I have a post up for Muscle Milk Light. Just look around and it's there $5.99 a Jug (THAT"S DAMN CHEAP !) If you want some help with the drinks. Go to ebay and pick some up.25 of Protein, and only 195 Calories. It's good stuff too. That's were I buy my supplies from, and I'm sticking to it. I been on Muscle Milk for 5 yrs... So it's not a flash in the pan.

Here's good advice, the rest is up to you.

Hello, I'm sorry you are having trouble, I have been banded for a few years so I'm not sure if I should tell you to drink this or not, but I will anyway and you can choose for yourself what to do. My band is always too tight or too loose. So right now it is tight and the only things I can comfortably eat are cream Soups and slim fast. Slim fast will give you a full feeling. I can't see why it would hurt. Just take slips. I think it would help your hunger. :)

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
