Am I in bandster hell?

[wozzicat 36]

Hey there

I am on liquids this week and I am starving. I do not have any fill. It needed to be taken out. Anyways my point is I'm starving. Is this normal?

Probably, but anyone would be hungry if they are on liquids.

"Bandster Hell" is typical, and does have an end point. Reflecting back, the initial pre op and post op weeks were the most difficult part of this journey for me.

Get busy with projects to keep your mind and interest away from your hunger and desire to eat. We all have been there and survived. You will, too!

Best wishes for a successful journey...

Exactly we have all been there you will survive. Find something to do with your time then think about hunger.

I was banded Oct 15,2012 and still no restriction. When I get really hungry I do what Sojo suggested, keep really, really busy and drink a lot of Water, Decaf tea and SF hot chocolate.

This is a time for mind over matter.

Bandster Hell is that time period between surgery, and the point where your band is finally properly adjusted where your hunger, portion sizes, and all else that goes with the Green Zone finally kicks in.....

It took me 4-5 months to get there, and another 1-2 to figure it out, adjust myself and get in the "groove"

Until then, all you can do is "White Knuckle" it, fight the hunger and do traditional dieting...just as beforew the surgery...Bandster Hell!
