Ok so I haven't had my first fill yet not till June 7th. I do so good all day but at night I'm so hungry. I have tried having a snack but that still doesn't help. What can I do?

try saving a few calories for an evening snack. Keep busy so you don't think of eating. Drink more Water. Just a few suggestions.

You an try saving some calories for a snack as mentioned above. I would make that snack Protein based chicken breast plain (maybe mustard), or low fat cheese stick. If you are going to have carbs make them a plain veggie. Look for Mini Sweet Peppers in the produce department. I just eat them buy hand and don't bother cutting them up (great price at Costco).

I've also heard people talk about having a Protein Shake in the evening, frozen a bit more and it gets them through longer... (i'm still in the pre-op stage so my help is limited). Good Luck!

I'm not trying to be a negative Nancy but im always going to bed hungry. I got my first fill this week and there's just not a whole lot of restriction in the evening. It stinks. i do eat a high Protein snack before bed but it's a tiny thing compared to the bag of microwave popcorn I ate before bed just a month ago.. So I'm wondering if part of my issue is head hunger? or

This might just be part of "bandster hell"?

A snack is a good idea. I eat1/4c nuts and find them very satisfying. I measure because they are very calorie dense and have significant fat. Low carb though.

Thanks everyone. I'm still in the mushy part of the diet so I try a ff string cheeses. Maybe I should try a Protein Shake. Before the band I used to eat the most at night so I think that's why I want to eat.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
