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

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
