Hello-sorry you are having such a hard time now. I have not been banded yet so can't really speak to what you are going through. Try posting in post lap band discusion! Good luck

I was hungry on the clear liquids after a few days, too! It's probably a good sign, it could mean you're less inflamed, and it definitely means your body is on the mend. Once you go to full liquids, and it's not long now, it'll be A LOT better. They're very filling! Especially warm ones. So hang in there, you're almost there!

I was hungry that early as well. You just have to pull through this stage. It will be rewarding in the end. good luck with your journey welldoneclap.gif

I know where your coming from.The problem is you are detoxing too (in a sense) You have to get use to being hungry until you can really drink some good Protein Shakes which help kill hunger. I have a post up for Muscle Milk Light. Just look around and it's there $5.99 a Jug (THAT"S DAMN CHEAP !) If you want some help with the drinks. Go to ebay and pick some up.25 of Protein, and only 195 Calories. It's good stuff too. That's were I buy my supplies from, and I'm sticking to it. I been on Muscle Milk for 5 yrs... So it's not a flash in the pan.

Here's good advice, the rest is up to you.

Hello, I'm sorry you are having trouble, I have been banded for a few years so I'm not sure if I should tell you to drink this or not, but I will anyway and you can choose for yourself what to do. My band is always too tight or too loose. So right now it is tight and the only things I can comfortably eat are cream Soups and slim fast. Slim fast will give you a full feeling. I can't see why it would hurt. Just take slips. I think it would help your hunger. :)

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
