Looking for input! I had surgery July 31st and am getting my first fill on the 11th. I have noticed in the morning I am usually full fairly quickly but by 4 pm in the afternoon I am starving... I mean.... Watch out... nail down the food because I can't full until I have had more than I should! Does this happen to anyone else? Will this HOPEFULLY go away when I have some restriction. I feel like such a loser after being really good all day until that point of the day. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Hello, this is a never ending guessing game. I had mine done two years ago. I stated out writing everything down, so I would know when I could eat, what I could eat, what would make me sick ect...All I know is, I don't get hungry in the mornings, I don't eat anything during the day (usually). If I do I usually throw up. There are some things I can eat just fine and other times the same thing will make me throw up. I have found that if my husband wants to go to dinner, we will go a couple days, or the day before if I calculate right, before my period starts. For some reason right before my period I can eat more than I should be able to, but if I were to try and eat the same amount after my period starts, forget it. I usually have to make myself throw up, I will be eating, slow and small bites, and I'll feel like it's in my throat and I get an instant headache, after I throw up it goes away. My frustration will this whole thing is it's been two years and I have only lost 65lbs. Although I don't exercise like I should and since I don't get hungry during the day, I always eat at night, and if it's been while since I have actually been able to eat anything good without throwing up, I find myself eating all the wrong things because I can, like chips and dip, popcorn or candy. I was hoping to to get on this site and find like buddy support. Well good look with your success.

Hey there. I got banded Aug 26th, just a couple weeks ago. I am also very hungry at night. I am trying to decide whether its actual hunger or head hunger. Either way, its hard to keep on track. I know I am not eating even a 1000 calories a day. In fact the first two weeks, I didnt even eat 600 a day but I think that is normal. Now that I am allowed to eat some somewhat normal foods I am finding that I am back to enjoying to eat again, which is NOT a good thing. I am also hoping that after my first fill which isnt until Oct 8th I will feel more full and restricted. Keep me posted about your progress.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
