Hunger has returned.

Hi everyone, I had surgery almost three weeks ago . I have lost 23 pounds. Yesterday for some reason I went from liquids and mushy foods to a chicken nugget and a few cookies. I feel like i am totally hungry. Then I woke up this morning and started snacking again. I almost don't feel any restriction.. I go at my month appointment. I guess I need a fill. Has this happened to anyone else?

Yes, it happened to me. I would even wake up in the night before my first fill with my stomach grumbling from hunger. I would try to focus on eating healthy proteins to stay full longer. Keep coming to this site for support. I know I am going back for my second fill on November 2nd and I need it. I would throw away the cookies so that they are not a temptation. Try to find the willpower to stay away from those things that you shouldn't have. It won't always be easy. I am now just about 3 months out. I have not found my sweet spot but I journal everything so that I can analyze and evaluate when I am beginning to get a little off track. Also, make sure that you have food that is good for you to eat. I even keep some weight watcher meals around for those times that I do not have time to cook. Though....they are not good if you have to watch your sodium intake. Good luck on your first fill at your next visit! Keep on working hard!

I am two weeksout from surgery adn I am hungry!!! I am trying to stick it out until monday when the dr said i can go to mushies, but damn i am hungry! The only thing keeping me from eating everything in the fridge is the fact that I don't wanna screw up my band! Today I stuck to liquids, just water and protein shakes, then at dinner I had cream of potato soup, but strained, so basically just the 1% milk broth...yummy! I will take what I can get....good luck to you...let me know how you are doing!
