Have you eaten anything? Can you eat? It is great that you are not hungry, but you need to get some calories in during the day.

I have days where I am STARVING. I eat protien, it will fill you up more than anything else will and it stays with you longer. Don't know why you are so hungry after a fill, but the band seem to do strange things sometimes.

My doctor says it can take 2 weeks for a fill to "hit", something to do with how the liquid moves within the band. Personally I did not get any restriction until 5 months out. From the day I started on solids I had to measure 3 oz of Protein. My doctor prefers that you not "snack" but to grit your teeth and bear it. Can you always do that; probably not. When I got really hungry between meals I would have an oz of plan chicken breast. Pre work out I would also have either a low fat cheese stick or a Premier Ready to drink Protein Shake (160 cal, 30 g Protein)

How many cc do you have in your band? My band is in 11cc and I think I have 9cc ... I was hoping to feel more restriction!

      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
