Bandster Hell Is Winning! Aaghh!



Recommended Posts

Eating planned meals or Snacks every 3-4 hours was/is essential for me.

You also need to start thinking about whether your hunger is always physical. After you eat one cup of solid food, are you still having hunger pangs, tummy grumbling, etc? Or is it more that you just feel unsatisfied - that you haven't eaten enough and want more? It took me a long time to get used to the idea of a small amount of food being "enough". I had to weigh/measure my food and put it on a small plate (like a salad plate) so it wouldn't look so meager.

Bandster hell is really hard; I'm there myself and am so hungry! But I'm taking the suggestions in this thread too and I'm going to power through it until I get some restriction. We can do this!:)

i'm still days out till my 1st fill and this bandster hell is winning! my hunger is back and with a vengeance. i don't even want to get on the scale because i'm scared of seeing how much of the weight i lost i've gained back :( i'm trying so hard to make good choices and to keep to my 1 cup servings but it's not enough!!! the good choices isn't so hard. i know i need to stay away from the bad and that's more mental than anything but the servings is a hunger thing....i think. all i know is that after a 1 cup serving meal i'm still hunger and looking around at everyone else's plate like i could eat theirs too!

ugh' date=' how does one survive this with their sanity and confidence that this will work in the long run??? because right now i'm starting to question everything![/quote']

Don't compare yourself to any one else. Eat more often smaller portions. It works., lots of Water only Water

      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.
