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.

      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.
