Is anyone else super hungry?



Recommended Posts

I was banded on 12/11 and have been on solids since 12/20. I know everyone's experience is different but I am extremely hungry a lot of the time. I have bumped my calories up to 800-900 and that helped a little, but I was not expecting this! Plus I never really feel full and can easily eat up to 1 cup of food at a time. I am not scheduled for my first fill until late January and don't think I can last that long!

I was banded 12/8 and have done ok postop. So far all I have eaten is skim milk, chicken broth, and nsa popcicles....except for a teaspoon of mashed potatoes and a teaspoon of squash christmas day. I walked/ran on my treadmill today for the first time and I feel a little sore.....I drank my milk after and my hunger has subsided. I don't really feel a restriction, but I have realized that I used to gulp fluids. That has been the biggest adjustment. Last night I sneezed and felt a burning at one of my lap sites and it stayed there all night. I took some pain medicine and it seems to be okay today.....So far so good.....first fill is Jan 6th

I agree! I feel like I am STARVING! I was banded on 12/18 so I am still on the liquid stage but even after drinking a Protein Shake an hour later I am hungry again. I've been trying to fill up on Water and that seems to make it worse. I am sick of pudding, broth, yogurt and jello! I've even tried making smoothies with my Protein Powder and that STILL doesn't do it. I almost want to cry because I am soooo hungry! I tried some Tomato Soup last night and it seemed to give me gas after about a tablespoon of it but I was full. I just can't stand Tomato soup! Someone tell me something please! :frown: :crying::crying::thumbup:

tmg333- I started this thread and was banded only one week before you. I was really worried about how hungry I was but after a little over a week on solids the hunger has gotten better. I actually called my doc today and asked about moving up my first fill (not scheduled until 1/26) but he said no. He evidently doesn't like to do the 1st fill until around 6 weeks after surgery. So anyway, hang in there, it does get better.

I was banded on 12-22-08 and am not so much hungry, but I want to eat real food. I only have two more days until the soft foods stage, but I want to go downstairs right now heat up the turkey meatballs and eat them. Help, I don't know, I really want to eat real food.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      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.
