Recommended Posts

Is is possible for you never to feel full? and always be hungry? i have been banded for 2 years and i am still hungry all the time.. I drink my Water as supposed... I dont drink during meals.. I had lost almost 100 lbs by pure hardwork and calorie watching... I have slowly gained 70lbs back.. I have an appt this thursday at my band doc... I have tightness in my band... I eat slow and feel pressure but It seems to past quickly..

It's definitely possible. However, it's also very possible you never found your Green Zone. It also could be you're confusing head hunger with physical hunger. There could be many reasons for what you're feeling.

Something else important to point out: The band is not supposed to make you feel stuffed full. It's only supposed to help you feel satisfied, aka not physically hungry, on smaller amounts of food for longer periods of time.

That is very possible, I thought the same thing, I was banded in 2009 June, I've had alot of complications with the Lapband since then... for some reason since way back them I've not been able to pass 6 cc my band is a 10cc, come to find out last week my band needs to be remove and it could eventually lead to life death situation, I have no insurance and no means of paying for this operation.... It sucks and I really do wish I never had this operation

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
