I was banded on 4/11 and have been so hungry for the past two weeks that I have given into temptation... Now I'm at the point where I feel like I am failing at having the band and thinking maybe I shouldn't have gotten it! I have

not lost any more weight since moved to full liquids and I'm suppose to get my 1st fill on Thursday but I'm scared to do that since I hear they are painful. So confused......???ž

luckly I had 4cc in on day of surgery so every 2 wks I went in for another (total of 3) for a green zone of 6.5cc and no head hunger so hang in there its coming its just around the corner this is the hard part for us all but it is so worth it.

This happens to most. Keep track of what you are eating. Don't lie! It will help if you use something like MyFitnessPal. I love it because it tells you what you should weigh in 5 weeks if you keep doing what you are doing. It is very motivating. Keep drinking as much as you can. Make sure you are getting dense Protein in to help keep that full feeling. Drink, drink, drink. That helps too. Just remember why who did this. All of the horror stories I have read on other forums really helped keep me on track because I don't want to have problems. Please try to follow the rules to help maintain a healthy band. You do not want to have problems. Find other things or healthy things to do/eat when you get this cravings. I did a lot of reading, extra exercise, celery with Peanut Butter. Find what works. You can!

I shall not tell a lie yes I have and it happens so I hear. I read somewhere on here someone said we should not beat ourselves up for doing it and that we should take notice of it and then do better the next day or meal. So that is what I am doing. It is a new change and we have to crawl before we can walk. I hope this helps good luck to you.

      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.
