Not Feeling Full Again...



Recommended Posts

My last fill was 4.6 cc in a 10 cc band, two weeks ago. Since then, I've lost maybe 3 lbs which is fine...but now I'm beginning to feel a little more of an appetite coming on throughout the day. I've been eating my Protein (about 60 grams a day) and veggies like I'm suppose to ( Water in between meals too) but I feel like I can eat larger portions before feeling full.

What can I do to help fight the urge to over eat (larger portions) until my next fill ??

I feel like I'm doing everything right but not feeling the restriction like I use to.

Thanks :)

Maybe u need a little more fill, i would go back to the doctor and tell him .. i know i am able to go back for a fill when i i feel i need to .. doctors dont always get the amount of fill right, sometimes its too much sometimes its too little .. the only thing i would say is that sometimes it can be about 3 weeks before i feel the full effects of a fill so maybe wait another week and see, if u still feel the same then go and get a little more.. no point in struggling on when there is no need :)

Thanks for commenting and for your advice. I thought maybe a little "tweek" on a fill would do the trick --- I did make an appointment for next week. Again, thanks! :)

This is part of the process and you'll hear it often from this group. I would experience the same thing for at least 3 of my first fills. I would be "great! restriction!" only to be hungry again the next week.

Just be sure to partner with your doctors. My NP has an open door policy and if she doesn't fill me does let me call at anytime if I think I need an adjustment before the next the appointment.

You'll get there. It just takes a little time!

      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.
