I'm Starving!!!



Recommended Posts

Hi - I'm hungry - not head hungry but really stomach rumbling, pain hungry - especially at night ( like at 10:00 pm ). If I just ignore it and try to sleep I wake up feeling starved! What can I eat that isn't so fattening ? I'm in stage 4 right now, and cannot wait for my first fill.:hungry: Thanks everyone.

I'm really new, only 7 days post but have just the opposite problem. I found that warm Water with lemon fills me right up and usually lasts thru the night. Good luck with the fill.....Dave:bounce::bounce:

Hi Sweetpea...I understand what you are saying about being truly hungry late at night because it happens to me often, too.

I usually eat dinner around 6:00 and by 10:00 my stomach is really rumbling. What do I do about it? Nothing! I just ignore it!

I just say no, it's ok to be hungry and anyway it's bedtime, not mealtime, so I am not going to eat. Then in the morning after going to bed hungry I find I am hungry for my Breakfast instead of just eating it because it is 'breakfast time.'

I do that too.. If it's near bedtime, which is when I get really hungry and want to pig out.. I take my sleeping pill and go to sleep! Or, I eat a 100 calorie pack, then go to sleep. Depends on how well the sleeping pills are working.

You guys sound as if you have so much more willpower than I do - hopefully after I have a fill things will be easier. Thanks!

with your first fill you won't feel a difference to tell you the truth... i say enjoy the last huge meals of the next few years of your life :D eat!!!!!!!! no need to feel pain from being hungry. bc eventually you will start feeling pain from eating( some what lol).. so while you can eat and swallow normally without thinking about throwing up 30 seconds later from eating a dry food or not chewing enough or having too much of a fill... ENJOY IT :D

Sweetpea,

I never had the rumbling at night, but my girlfriend did. She was banded a month before me. Shewould get the smallest dap of peanutbutter and just take the tinyest little bites. That satisfied her.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
