Does Your Band Stop Your Hunger

[IndioGirl55 32]

I hate head hunger Grrrrr! The not knowing if my fill is at the right level is the hardest part for me also. I tossed and tossed over band or sleeve I got the band and hope everyday that I made the right choice. So far so good no issues, Except a slight over fill once. And it was a horrible thing. Hope I never go through that again.

I have always said what they really need to invent is a band for our heads - that's where 99% of our problems lie imho..

I my 3rd fill got me too tight and had all of if but .1 taken out - and I haven't needed another one since - 1/08..

For me being able to eat 1 to 1.5 cup of food per meal is my sweet spot...

I agree I never ever want to be too tight again - I would rather use will power than been so tight that I could barely sip Water..

You are doing great ...

Indio, Congratulations on 2 years!! You have done amazing and I hope the band continues to work for you. Or maybe that should be you work with it. Either way Great Job!!

No with the sleeve food does not get stuck. You can eat anything you want, just not very much of it. You do get full pretty fast.

I am kind of a grazer though. I get full pretty fast, but then maybe a couple hours later, I might have a healthy snack.

There are some days I just don't feel like messing with food or cooking or dishes and I will have 3 Protein shakes per day and be perfectly satisfied.

I didn't start having band problems until after I had the band for a couple of years. I could just see more problems coming, so I revised to the sleeve before that started happening. I am really glad I did.

Hi, I really don't get full blown hungry but my body tells me that I should probably think about eating within the hour. If I truly crave something which is from time to time then I have it. I have been wanting a butterfingers candy bar-waited a week before I got it and I ate it. I don't know why a butterfingers as my favorite always was a snickers. In the evening, I usually have a sugar free cream pop, Kroger's brand. I agree with the person about the Protein, takes longer for me to get hungry if I have protein. Although I've been cautioned about Peanut Butter, I eat about a tablespoon with 2 to 4 crackers in the morning, 8 am, and that will last me up to 2 pm if I go that route. I just make sure that it kinda melts in my mouth.
