two weeks out.....need help



Recommended Posts

to all that have been banded, Is it easier to change your eating habits after the band is placed? Here I am 2 weeks out trying to eat only 3 meals a day and its a killer. Will this surgery be helping me with my desire to always want to eat? I know we need to start watching what we eat B-4 the surgery but I finding it almost impossible which is why Im choosing to have the surgery. any and all imput will be loved...thanks , Wendy:confused:

Hi Wendy,

Being banded will be a big help. You will feel full and in a few weeks will not be thinking of food all the time. Once you have a good restriction most of the time you feel like you just finished a meal. Good luck!!!!

Wendy,

Hang in there Girl. It will be much easier to control your hunger after you are banded and get it filled. I feel full after only 4 or 5 bites now. I had my surgery 14 months ago and have lost 110 pound!! I have always had a big weight problem and a big appitite to go with it! This band has given me a new life! No regrets here!

hey Linda, Thank you so much I needed to hear that. I guess that I really dont know what it's like to be full and not want to nibble. It's just hard to believe that I can feel any different than I do now. You keep up that amazing job your doing!.. and thanks again for the import......Wendy from Arizona

I am 1 month post op and before surgery I was a snacker. I found it since surgery to not really need to snack. I have no restriction yet but the band alone helps me to eat less. I sometimes have one snack in between meals (yogurt, fruit or something healthy) when I know it will be late before I eat dinner. B/C I don't have restriction yet I do find myself getting hungry but it is usually just around meal time. Good luck to you

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
