wow this head hunger is no joke, I think this has truly been my greatest battle since I've had the surgery, but we can master it one step at a time....

my Dr said the reason for not eating is because you have to give your stomach time to heal, due to some swelling, and they don't want you to have any irritation, you could cause damage also I think, but the Dr really should have explained to you why you are to wait 24 hrs, don't over do it and just do what your Dr says, its for your good...good luck

thanks Lisa I will follow up my apt is Monday morning, :wub:

Thanks Ladies I guess I do need to calm down Missy I do feel great I was just like what in the heck is going on all of a sudden I just got this appetite from no where, and Carolina I guess I need to work on the head hunger because I'm not sure if I'm actually hungry or not but I go in on the 16 to see my doctor, thanks a lot for all of your advice.. :wub:

maybe they need to do it under the x-ray to see if they can find your port, they had trouble locating mine now every time I go in for a fill I have to go under the x-ray to see the port, good luck, and I 100% agree with Missy

raindrop are you saying my port could have flipped ? it may sound like a silly question

i am very concerned and think something may be wrong, but a couple of days this week I have been feeling like I can eat every thing in sight, I have been banded for about 7 months, im thinking I may have a leak because I have 10cc band and I think I have like 8cc in the band and all of a sudden this week I have been soooo hungry, not sure whats going on I go see dr on the 16th ...just a little concern

I tried them but omg I just cant swallow the stuff, but good luck, everyone taste is different, I would just buy 1 to see if you like them....

im 7 months out and have not tried it I was told it could stretch your pouch, not sure how true it is I just choose not to drink it, but I do know a few people who does and they seem to be ok,

be encouraged and know that we all have struggles even if its food choices or portion control we have all been there and those that haven't been there will have to sooner or later have to go there, hold your head up, don't give up, if you fall get up and shake yourself off and start over, we all have a few bad days, be encourage friend<3

I take wellbutin and it causes weight loss, and I swallow just fine its small

Good luck on your new journey and take it easy,

OMG he sounds like an idiot there is no way in HELL I would give him a red penny, turn him in and find another Dr, I can't believe that, sorry that happened to you sounds awful....

I hope not either because I have one for breakfast for last 7 months

Thanks, there is no swelling and its not hot, reading your response helps me alot I did wear some jeans that kept rubbing up against the area my port is located wright under left rib cage and sometimes clothes rub up against the area, but I have never felt it like this, its just a sore aching feeling and I walked 4 miles yesterday for the first time so that may be the cause also, thank you ill watch it, I think I just got a little worked up....thanks again <3

it has been 6 months since I had surgery and today is the first day I am having pain at the port site, im wondering is this normal ? it is really sore when I move or touch the area....any advice??? im a little scared

I use coconut water with pineapple to fix my shakes it is great..

Great link thank you :wub:

Honestly I try to avoid a lot of negativity because half of the people that is being negative only wish they where able to get the surgery but can't afford it, so they get on these forums and try to discourage the ones who have taken a step to get healthier, I look at this way I was 300lbs I had so many complications high blood pressure, I WAS a diabetic so if that didn't kill me then I figure Im here for a reason, obesity can kill also, so to the negative people out there please get your self a life and leave the ones who are living a healthy life along...BLOOP.....

How do you suppress the head hunger ????

Good luck ....

sorry to hear that, the same thing happened to me so I started requesting the nurse that found my port to do my fills, praying for you because when that happened to me I was so angry when I left there I just wanted to cry but it got better and it will get better for you sweetie...

Praying you begin feeling well,,, :wub:

I have UHC on my job and they covered my surgery and I was approved very quickly...
