Is It Notmal To Be Hungry After A Fill?



Recommended Posts

It's possible that you may need another adjustment. However before you do try solids. I usually go back to solids on day 3, with day 1 being the fill day. Also talk to your doctor.

The band won't make it so you're never hungry again. Hunger is your body's natural response to needing food. Right now you're not on solid food so I'm not surprised you're hungry.

The band is supposed to allow you to be satisfied on less food for longer periods of time, not get rid of your hunger forever.

I got my first fill today. I feel more starving right now then I have since my surgery. I drank a protien shake two hrs ago so I don't understand why I'm so hungry. I don't think the fill had anything to do with it, I think because I've only drank protien shakes!

Same here, now that I'm back on solids and I have to do the liquids for 1 day, I end up starving, it sucks, but at least it's a lot shorter of a time. I go in for a fill tomorrow, so a fun liquid day ahead for me, lol :)

That is exactly how I feel. Guess it must be normal.

my dr said I only need to do liquids if uncomfortable after a fill. so far not an issue. I am careful but no problems last time with food

I do liquids for the rest of the day of the fill, mushies the next day, soft foods the next day, and back to regular after that.

Like Missy said, the band doesn't stop you from feeling hungry and after liquids and mushy sliders, we're going to feel it.

Filled Monday and had serious stomach growling, it was really po'd!

Once you start with good solid Proteins it will get a little better, unless we need another fill.

Wecome to "Bandster Hell", enjoy the ride!

I am 67 days post op. The first two visits Dr didn't want to give me a fill because I was losing weight and wasn't hungry. I just had my first fill yesterday I went from 1 cc to 4 cc. I'm ravenous today even after drinking shakes and Water all day long.

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
