♕ajtexas♕ 3,771 Posted September 22, 2012 The reason you do not feel hungry or thirsty is because your stomach is still swollen from the surgery. I somedays I have a hard time with tuna and I have been banded for 7 months (band being tight somedays). My advice is 1 call your doctor and tell him your concerns and 2 eat only 1 cup per meal, slowly, and drink slowly. The eating habit is a learning process. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Take care & good luck. 2 Maddysgram and ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Got you. I haven't felt the "sensation" yet. I sip down broth, Jello sugar free popsicle and just added Protein drink to the day. I haven't felt hungry. I eat something because I know I have to. I haven't felt a thanksgiving full either. I've been content really since surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
