Hungry? When did everyone's hungry start once they were banded?



Recommended Posts

Today it is Day 7 for me. I got ravenous on liquids on Day 3-6. Today, I am feeling a little better eating some yogurt and pudding in addition to the Protein.

I don't know for sure but I believe the Protein made the difference plus the ability to eat something semi-solid in the form of the pudding and yogurt.

I can say I am not as hungry as I was before the band but it is clear to me a week in that restriction via fills is going to be important for me:-))

It's been three days since I got banded...so far i have regretted it tremendously. i am not hungry but nausious constantly. I barely want to drink, but any time i see a food commercial, i get hungry. Is this normal?

:eek:Hi I am not sure what I am doing here - I am hoping I an emailing someone -

I found this website today and am thinking this is a great thing. I had the lapband done 11/10 - I'm two weeks out and am trying to figure out what is considered mushie food with Protein.

I noticed you are from MT - me too - altho not living there currently. Thought it would be nicer to email a fellow Montanan.

So if you get a chance email me back and tell me how you've been making out - and maybe you could give me some clue as to the mushie/protein thing.

I am going to try and log in again over the weekend - if I can figure out where I've been tonight on this thing. Maybe you'll reply by then -

Thanks

I'm four weeks out and still not really "hungry". My stomach growls like crazy, but to me that's not "hunger". Unless there is something REALLY tempting right in front of me, I am pretty indifferent to food. It's GREAT.

      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.
