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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
