Hungry after fill



Recommended Posts

Has anyone been really hungry after a fill? My doctor only requires liquids the night of the fill. Then back to normal food the next day. I feel like I am starving today! I haven't snacked like I often do so I have had less for the day but I have eaten three meals. Had dinner an hour ago and my stomach is growling. Seriously growling, not just head hunger!! If I didn't know better I would swear I got an unfill instead. Has anyone else experienced this?

I had my first fill this month (Aug). It seems like I can eat more than I should. I didn't have any problems with the liquid diet and I thought my stomach would have been smaller.

I'm always hungry after a fill. I don't eat after midnight the night before and don't have anything until after the fill. Then I usually have a clear Soup immediately after. I'm OK with that.

This was my third fill. I did not feel any difference after my first one and my dr even told me to expect that. After my second fill I got full faster but was still hungry within an hour or two of eating. I just had my third fill yesterday and I'm just surprised by how hungry I am today. Hopefully just an off day and it will be better tomorrow.

      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.
