Crazy hunger

[lellow 1,713]

It's gotten cold here this week and I still am no where near restricted enough so it's 10.30am and I'm starving!

I hate not having my band helping me with my hunger.

Off to the canteen and praying they have healthy options. Next fill is still 2 weeks away. BOOO!

from what i understand, the band wont make you not hungry..it helps me feel fuller on less but does not make me not hungry so if its not head hunger, drink and or eat more Protein to help until your next meal/snack...

The band stopped my hunger when I was in the green zone. I know it doesn't work like that for every one but it works like that for me. When I have the right fill level I feel exactly like I did right after surgery - I have zero interest in eating because I nearly never feel hungry.

You and I both Lellow....Green Zone is where it's at!!!!

Today.....I had a 15gm Protein shot before going to the gym at 5am....

After my workout I had a Protein recovery smoothie.

I worked out of my home office today, completely forgot about lunch or food in general untill around 6pm when my wife got home.

Prepared one chicken parm cutlet....could not eat it! Was not interested in food or eating one bit....simply had no appetite at all....tasted it, then put it away as leftovers..

At 8pm I had a Protein shake, not because I was hungry, but because I wanted to get my daily protein in so I knew I needed to do it.

This example is not unique to me, I have experienced many days like this over the last 2 years....most days I have to remind myself I need to stop what I'm doing and eat something....

Some people say the band will not take away hunger....some say it will take away hunger between meals....for me it takes away hunger 24/7....today was an example where I was never hungry, and food simply did not interest me in the slightest....the band is there 24/7, never changing, why would my hunger wane during the day if the band is doing it's job???

The green zone says "No Hunger"....the band is adjustable, and people have the free will and option to have it adjusted to where they are happy with the results...and bottom line, that it what it is all about....PATIENT SATISFACTION....getting your moneys worth.

Thank You Band!!! For changing my life.....PERMANENTLY! Not a yo-yo diet that non banders still go through, as I have many, many times before WLS....

My problem with being fat was I was always hungry, always eating.....the band took care of that! That's wht I had the surgery in the first place.
