When u had Breakfast and 5 hours later u havent eaten anything except Water, do u feel the band?, like there is somethin in ur stomach wrong?.. I am not talking about the feeling that ur stomach is making noises out of being hungry am talking about a feeling like there something like steel surrounding ur stomach, like literally u are feeling ur band?

I am just wondering..

I dont think I've ever gone five hours without eating, lol, but sometimes I think I can feel the band, especially if I have tensed up my abdomen, like when I'm doing planks, I can feel it in there after about 30 seconds, it doesnt hurt or anything but I'm aware of it. I can feel my port the same way in the same circumstances.

I go barely 5 hours w/o eating. I don't feel the band but I do feel the port. Someone I know does feel her band. I guess everyone's different. As long as it doesn't hurt, it's probably ok.

I feel like I can feel my band around my stomach too all the time. I have always thought I was hyper sensitive to my body with a low tolerance for pain. It doesn't bother me, because I elected to put it there. I would say that once a day or more I have a feeling of "I can feel it is there". Honestly, I expected it to be that way. How about you Gabi, have you always been hyper sensitive about your body?

      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.
