Am I Supposed To Be Hungy?



Recommended Posts

I was banded 11/1/12 and from the get go, I think I've been feeling hunger pangs all the time. I'm still on liquids and I feel satisfied after I drink but quickly feel hungry again, but its a different feeling than before I was banded. It feels like hunger but I really have no desire to eat , which is a total shocker to me. Has anyone else experienced this?

I was banded yesterday and I feel the exact same way. I thought there was something wrong with me. Can't tell if its gas or hunger. It's driving me nuts.

Sounds like gas may be playing a part of it.

drinking hot liquids help some but it does sound like gas/air I found gasx helpful and a heating pad. Taking a laxative to get things moving also helps so try all that. It will get better as u get fills hang in there......line dancer

Hi there, I received my Lap band on November 1, 2012. For the past two days I have been experiencing a stitch or cramp underneath my left breast close to my side. Does anyone know what this could be or has anyone had a similar experience?

Yea..try to drink hot liquids...ur mind is the easiest to trick but ur body will take sometime especially pre fill. After first fill or when u reach green zone it will switch...to ur mind telling u its hungry n wanting more bc ur brain is confused on y u stopped eating so soon...but ur body will be sayin.."ugh im full as hell" off of just three bites

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
