Hi I'm Sam! I had surgery on March 31st, by Dr. N. Bertha. I am feeling okay, I'm on Full liquids. Thankfully I like my Protein Shakes so far. I am hungry though! I was hoping I wouldn't feel that way, but my mind is hungry, my stomach is full! Very crazy! Anyway, good luck to all and I look forward to chatting and supporting each other!:welldoneclap:

Hi Sam

I know exactly what ur talking about and feeling. Mentally ur hungry and physically ur not! and it doesnt help with every commercial on TV being about food!!!:thumbup: But we can overcome this small obsticle:smile2: I think as ur able to introduce solid foods back into ur diet it wont be as bad! I had a friend who told me prior to me getting banded on 3/25 that everytime she looked at a billboard w/food on it she would burst out into tear:cryin:! I hope its not that extreme for u, but as time goes on i think we will be able to controll what our minds are thinking:rolleyes2:

Good Luck!!!

Liquids may satisfy your nutritional needs right now but there is a part of you that needs and wants the psychological impact that comes from chewing. Maybe chewing sugar free gum would help that a little?

Oh and I would try gum, but two things, I am afraid that I will swallow it and do something to the band (perpetual gum swallower) and it sometimes makes me more hungry :thumbup:. I .may try it now though

      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.
