kah1213 311 Posted July 11, 2012 What you've described is normal. I could barely eat for the first week. By the time I went to my 1 month post op appointment, I felt like I could eat way too much. Everyone here calls it bandster hell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LouisianaLiLi 231 Posted July 11, 2012 I'm getting there myself. I saw the Dr. Monday and he asked me if I was staying satisfied, and as of Monday, I was...It's amazing what 2 days will do. I was ravenous yesterday. I kept it in check by drinking lots of Water. I'm staying within the caloric limits I have set, but WOW...yesterday I could have eaten "the brass horns off a billy goat!" If I feel like I can't handle this, I will contact the surgeon. My first fill is not for another month. ETA--I was banded June 19th Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daisy0909 2 Posted July 11, 2012 I was banded on 6/25. I had to do two weeks of liquids before surgery and two weeks after. Now I am on two weeks of mushies. I definitely know how you feel!! Yesterday it was so hard for me to only eat 1/2 cup at meal times! I am looking forward to not being so hungry. I think i have four more weeks before I can get a fill. Hang in there and just do the best you can. It will be worth it in the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sylviau 125 Posted July 11, 2012 I had surgery 7/2 and had my one week post op visit this past Monday. I was on 2 weeks liquids Pre op and 2 weeks liquid post op. I have a few more days of liquids and I move to soft foods. My dr thought I wasn't hungry yet and I was like, I'm starving!!!! This week has been horrible...the liquids are not filling me like they used to! I'm sure it's because the swelling is down. I have my first fill in 3 weeks I Pretty sure I will need it.
