Banded 22Nd May & Hungry

[Aimee Orrock 2]

Is it normal to feel hungry? I definitely feel full once I have eaten and I am sticking to liquids only! I have 1cc of Fluid in my band & due my fill on 26th June.

One other thing I have been experiencing a fluttering sensation in my chest & tummy ... Has anyone else had this?

I was banded on the 22 nd also and I know the fluttering feeling you are experiencing is gas. I have had gas since the surgery but it seems a little better today. Im taking gas x for that. Have you started full liquids yet. I started today and it has helped a lot

That's good to know, my fluttering has started to pass today as well!

What do you mean full liquid? I'm in UK & I was advised to have anything that can go through a straw & 2 to 3 litres of Water a day.

When is your band fill? I can't wait to get my first fill :-)

Full liquids means that I added Protein Drinks and sugar free pudding and cream Soups to my diet. My dr started me off on Clear Liquids from the day before surgery until Thursday the 24 th. i am having a problem consuming my Water intake. In fact I'm still full from this morning all I had was a Protein Drink. I'm not sure what my fill is. The dr had to remove some of my fill after surgery because it was a little to much for me according to the swallow test in the lab

Waw I have been on yogurt since the hospital, I have a gastric band but I am sure they are the same thing. That sounds great you are full after a shake, I feel the same as I did before surgery however I have almost no liquid in my band. I get my fill on the 26th June and can't wait to feel the restriction!

Good Luck :-)
