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

        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
