are you hungry?

Hi

I am new here. I am waiting for my consultation for banding. I have got permission for funding for banding from the PCT / NHS. I live in the UK.

What I really want the truthful answer to is when you have had the banding are you hungry? I am hungry all the time. I am on insulin so I think that that does some of it.

Would think though that if you are hungry and can't physically eat anything it must be terrible.

Jackie :help:

Since i have had my band i am not really bothered by hunger. It really curbs my appetite. I really do not eat much anymore. So cool................ Donna

I got banded Sept 25 and I was told to eat mashed potatoes with ham but very little bits of ham and other stuff. I eat Soup too. But I havent been hungry because I eat until I feel ok. I have lost 9 kilos. I live in France. But when I see other things like fast food and I want to eat and I said I am not hungry. But Being over weight a very long time. Before I ate just because I felt like it not because I was hungry.

I am barely never hungry. I can go until 10 or 11 am before my Protein Shake Eating a small lunch I can still go several hours until I need a snack. It depends on your fill level.

Juliegeraci what kind of protien shake do you take?

[juliegeraci 7]

I use GNC whey or soy Protein Shakes. With a cup of skim milk you get 25-30 grams of Protein. Its a lot easier to get your protein in.

Ok thanks I dont think there is a GNC where I live at so do you take Multi Vitamins

[juliegeraci 7]

GNC has a really good chewable multi Vitamin as well.

The nearest GNC is in the UK.

how is the taste? which flavor do you use? i am having a hard time gettin in my protein...so far the shakes i have tried taste like crap! i think its a head game too...any suggestions would be great!

The muscle milk tastes very good. It has an odd texture (very thick) for pudding, but the taste is top-notch. I have the chocolate flavor...I'm not even sure if they have another flavor. I've been drinking the banana Scream flavored shakes from Chamption Nutrition, and I like those a lot...of course I love bananas too.

The GNC Protein Shake in chocolate tastes really good. No aftertaste and very sweet.

I am going to try to ask my sister to send me GNC Mega Men® Maximum Nutrition Formula - (2.25 lbs.)

I've used their Whey and Soy products. Both are really good.
