hellooo everyone!

i was banded jan 20, 2011 so im very new here! I was just wondering when everyone started to feel hungry again? at this point i have zero appetite and am borderline nauseous. Its getting difficult to handle and im ready to feel "normal" again.

Hello and Congrats on getting the band. I am actually 3 weeks post op and I would say that I started to get hungry when all the swelling went down so probably like a week later. I think most of it was head hunger from seeing everybody else eat but I def started to feel it in the 2nd week.

I was hungry when I woke up from surgery... I cant say that the band has helped with my feelings of hunger but it has helped me not eat so much and has reduced the amount I eat over all.

My hunger came back 3 weeks post op. I wasn't prepared for it ( after not experiencing it for a couple if weeks ). But it makes me plan my meals so that I can make wise choices.

tomorrow I will be 2 weeks post op and i have no restriction. I am getting "kinda" hungry... But I think its because that was my old habit.. when i wasnt busy

I was eating- ya know.

Hang in there!

I am 8 weeks post-op and still have not experienced hunger again. I check with my doctor at 6 weeks when I got my 2nd fill and they said that is ok. I love not having hunger, I am dreading getting it back

I'm 4 weeks out... and now I'm starting to feel hungry. I do pretty good during the day...but at dinner, I'm really starting to notice I'm able to eat more than I expected. I haven't had a fill yet... I suppose feeling hungry is a sign it's probably time for that fill. I don't have an apt yet ... so maybe I should be calling my Dr. soon and check in with him.
