Ok ok.. I know I may need a fill, I am so frustrated. I know I need to talk to my Dr. about this, but wondering if anyone else has gone through this. I am 3 months post op. Lost 19pds after surgery. Before 11pds. So 30 altogether.. well thats great right? Sure in a way. I am at the "normal" weight I have been most of my adult life. I have always stayed around 215pds since I was 18 yrs old now 31. I would gain some, lose some and I always seem to get around 215 and dont budge unless I eat like crazy or starve myself like crazy. GRRR So my LB is weird, I cant eat anything before 11am, when I do eat, it has to be super soft. then at 4pm I can eat a turkey sandwhich, first few bites are uncomfortable, then i am okay. By 7-9pm.. I am sooooooooo hungry I can eat.. what i would say a normal meal. Like I had a whole chicken breast and 4 tator wedges. I am full... but golly thats a lot in my opinion. Around 10-11pm, I will get hungry again and have a snack.. I know I am eating more then what I think I should. But less then what I normally would before LB. I have had no fills and if I eat before 12pm I have PB'd.. omg thats the worst feeling.. and I havent had a fill yet!!! AWWWHHH.. any advice? I am irreglar on working out, cant afford a gym, too damn cold to walk outside I live in MN.. the Nintendo wii is my old source to work out and my weights. Maybe I outta bunker down and work out more? Sorry i am venting!

You already guessed it, you need a fill. Talk to your doc and be 100% honest about what and when you eat. He needs that info to make his decision on what to give you.

My doc says if you are hungry between meals, can eat more than 4oz of food at a time, or can eat bread, then you need a fill.

When's your next appt?

I originally had it for Dec 18th... well I called and found out he was in an accident, bummer, he is okay.. just is on medical leave until Jan.. So I wont be able to get a fill till then. I cant eat bread.. only toasted bread. I in the morning still get clogged up on food.. but by evening i can eat alot which is annoying! lol...

That sucks. There is just one person in his office that can do fills?

I'm the same way, in the morning I just drink low carb slim fast but by evening I can eat most band friendly foods.

Hang in there!

Yes. You DO need to start getting fills. You also need Protein during the day both for hunger and sustenance. I tend to have Protein Shakes for Breakfast. You might manage some cheese or egg salad for lunch. If you get enough protein and eat good complex carbs (not processed stuff) it will also help you not get so hunger in the eve.
