when did you notice your hunger coming back? I keep reading a lot of people don't have appetites right after surgery just wondering how long that lasted. thanks

I got my appetite about three days after. There are very, VERY few who report no appetitie again- I'm thinking of Muelle (http://www.lapbandtalk.com/user/305700-muelle/), who since banding has not had an appetite.

Every time I've gone under general anesthesia ( 5 times), I completely lose my appetite for a week!

I was banded on Aug 1, 2012. So I am now 6 days post op yeaaaaa! I got my appetite back about day 3. What I noticed though is that I find myself drinking a few sips of say my Protein shake.. then I lose interest in it, and think hmmmm I wonder if something else will be better, so I go and trade it for some Jello, take a bite .. lose interest... go back and see what else there is.. hahah.. I think that means I'm full, but since I have never felt "Full" before.. I'm having a little trouble recognizing it. lol.

I had no appetite for about 3 days after I was banded on July 26. I can't wait to get a fill now. It's hard to fight the hunger.

This is bored eating, try and stay away from it.

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
