Almost 2 Weeks & Not Full



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone! I was banded on 8/9 and have been on mushies for almost a week, but it seems like I'm not getting as full as I was at first. I ate 6 oz of chili for lunch and am still hungry. Do you think this will be likely to go away once I get the first fill?

Thanks!

Yes and no

It takes more than 1 fill to feel full on a little. Each fill gets you closer. Are you sure it isn't head hunger?? Also after you eat the 6 oz you can wait a while and see if your still hungry. Have patience your body is still healing and getting used to the new you.

Good luck

I hate to be the bearer or bad news but, unless you're one of the lucky few, you won't feel any restriction after the first fill. It took me 3 fills before I felt anything and I could still eat two cups without any stuck episodes or PBing. I'm currently on fill 4 and actually get full after 1& 1/2 cups. Hopefully the next fill will get me into the green zone. Just hang in there! It won't be overnight but, it will come.

Like the others have said...Just hang in there! It takes a few times before things get to the "green zone"..For me I always fall back outta green at right about 6 weeks and my tummy said Feed me Please!

Its worth everything you have done to this point and will be worth every struggle you face going forward! think Positive!

Good Luck!

I have to agree. You probably wont feel much restriction after your first fill. It also took me 33 fills (about 5 mths) before I felt restriction. I lost maybe 4 lbs during that time. I didn't measure my food or count calories and I ate just as much as before my band. The 3rd one did the trick for me tho. The lbs startingmelting off..

Good luck

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
