hunger pains? hmmmm....i feel nothing



Recommended Posts

Well I was banded on Monday, and I dont have any hunger pains. I drink my Protein Shakes and Water because I know I have to, but I dont feel the fullness either. Is this normal?

Anyone else experience this? does it go away and return back to normal?

I felt the same way for about 6 days. Then the hunger kicked in for me! Now on day 7 I can eat mushie foods and that has helped, I'm not hungry again. Enjoy the not being hungry feeling just make sure you keep drinking,.

It took me a week to start to feel hungry. Now I am trying to differentiate between head hunger and stomach hunger. Especially on days like today when my 5 little monkeys seem to forget that we have rules here!

I'm so glad you asked this question! I was banded on the 8th and I still have not felt hungry. It's very, very weird! Don't get me wrong, I like it, but it's very strange. I've been living off of Water and Isopure.< /p>

I was not hungry at all until about day 5 or 6, then it really kicked in. I wanted to chew! Oh well, I still have another 11 days of full liquids - I will get there! A lot of it was head hunger, not real hunger. That is something I am going to have to learn to deal with and not respond to.

      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.
