I had my procedure on 9/16, my first fill is next Monday 10/14, I'm very hungry



Recommended Posts

i'm right behind you with a surgery date of 9/19 and a fill date schedule for next week.. this last few days have been really hard.. trying to find distractions when i start to feel hungry again after I've already eaten for the day.. just have to find something to distract. and drink lots and lots and lots of Water. i find the days where i actually drink enough Water i do better on the scale.

We need to keep in touch since we had ours at the same time!

Did the hunger just come out of nowhere for you guys or was it more gradual? I was 9/26 and my hunger has been very sensible. I declined my first full and told the doc I would be in touch. Just wonder of the hunger issue is lurking around the corner for me

Mine hit on day 10 with a vengeance. I guess that's when my swelling must have gone down. I get so hungry at times that my stomach really hurts. It is a struggle to control my portions, but I do it. I can't wait to get my first fill on 10/17, any bit hopefully will help some!

I had my procedure on 9/16' date=' my first fill is next Monday 10/14, I'm very hungry.. Ive only lost 12 lbs and i thought I would have lost more and NOT be so hungry. HELP [/quote']

Hi!

Oh my gosh, we are twins! I was banded the 16th as well and my first fill is 10/14. I have also just maintained 12 lbs lost. Also, I'm in the hunger boat too. Our stomachs aren't swollen anymore and I know my surgeon puts the band in empty, so since my stomach isn't pushing against the band anymore I don't feel full. Hopefully it won't take too long getting to the green zone!

Let me know how it goes for ya!

I was banded September 19th and I am not hungry too often. I add Protein to whatever I can and I am trying to add to my diet and I drink all day long. I like Special K strawberry Kiwi protein Water. 30 calories a 5 grams of protein. It's yummy. I've lost 13 post op and feel pleased sabots only been three weeks so 4+ pounds a week is great!

Where are you getting the Special K protein water? I used to drink it years ago and liked it but now I can't find it anywhere.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
