Hey everyone just a question?? I'm like 9 days post op & the hunger seems to be getting worse everyday instead of better?Is this normal?? Please tell me I'm not always going to be this hungry??I still only on liquids for like another 6 days but it is so rough.I'm getting very irritable with my family & feeling kinda down.Any advise I know you've all either been here or are going to be here soon.Thanks in advance.......

post op time with no restrctions will let you get hungry. Post op is really not weight lost time, but a time for healing. Until the band gets restrictions you will be feeling hungry. Are you stomach hungry or head hungry?

It's called Bandster Hell, lol. Yeah, it's rough, but it will get better once you get a fill. It may even take a couple of fills, but you will get there. Hang in there.

If you are hungry, move on to mushies like oatmeal and yogart etc. It will help fill you up. Why be miserable and hungry?!

Hang in there! It's important that your band be able to heal right now. I was hungry from when I woke up in recovery until I got mushies so I feel your pain; but it gets better. Don't cheat (I'm sure you won't!) because it can make your stomach churn (to digest) and mess up your stitches holding your band in place around your stomach. You'll make it!

I am day 14 (well its after midnight, so day 15), and I have been hungry since around day 9. It got serious as the days went on. I had to just eat more when I could and have yogurt or pudding in between meals. I also started having cravings, as a result of my cycle. I wasn't expecting that. I think that may have been the reason why I was so hungry. I had to remind myself of what was going on with me mentally and physically. I got though the moment.

Now all I can say is that I'm so tired of creamy Soups and after my appointment with the doctor I will be treating myself to something. I'm just not sure what it will be. LOL! Hang in there girl
