Is It Notmal To Be Hungry After A Fill?



Recommended Posts

It's possible that you may need another adjustment. However before you do try solids. I usually go back to solids on day 3, with day 1 being the fill day. Also talk to your doctor.

The band won't make it so you're never hungry again. Hunger is your body's natural response to needing food. Right now you're not on solid food so I'm not surprised you're hungry.

The band is supposed to allow you to be satisfied on less food for longer periods of time, not get rid of your hunger forever.

I got my first fill today. I feel more starving right now then I have since my surgery. I drank a protien shake two hrs ago so I don't understand why I'm so hungry. I don't think the fill had anything to do with it, I think because I've only drank protien shakes!

Same here, now that I'm back on solids and I have to do the liquids for 1 day, I end up starving, it sucks, but at least it's a lot shorter of a time. I go in for a fill tomorrow, so a fun liquid day ahead for me, lol :)

That is exactly how I feel. Guess it must be normal.

my dr said I only need to do liquids if uncomfortable after a fill. so far not an issue. I am careful but no problems last time with food

I do liquids for the rest of the day of the fill, mushies the next day, soft foods the next day, and back to regular after that.

Like Missy said, the band doesn't stop you from feeling hungry and after liquids and mushy sliders, we're going to feel it.

Filled Monday and had serious stomach growling, it was really po'd!

Once you start with good solid Proteins it will get a little better, unless we need another fill.

Wecome to "Bandster Hell", enjoy the ride!

I am 67 days post op. The first two visits Dr didn't want to give me a fill because I was losing weight and wasn't hungry. I just had my first fill yesterday I went from 1 cc to 4 cc. I'm ravenous today even after drinking shakes and Water all day long.

      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.
