Hungry and frustrated!!



Recommended Posts

no you werent rubbing it in! i'm always happy for people whose band is working great and theyre doing well. i just have to accept that its gunna be pretty damn rough till i get my fill.. and maybe even after that. but itll be worth it i know.

Amy - Just hang in there girl...don't give up on it. Unless you're shaking and about to pass out from hunger, being a bit hungry isn't the worst thing to deal with. Also, make sure it's not just your stomach rumbling. After surgery my stomach rumbled constantly! I thought I was hungry, but then it would do it right after I ate and felt satisfied with the quantity I had. Then when I moved on to mushies, my stomach would rumble every time I drank Water too. And now that I'm on solids, I eat my Protein, I feel very comfortable and after that hour passes and I start on my water again, the rumbling starts up again too. It's rumbling less and less and time goes on, but I figured there's no way in heck that can be hunger when I've just eaten and feel ok. I literally have also had to stop and really think, am I hungry or is it just my stomach rumbling that makes me think I am? Am I hungry, or is it head hunger and I just think I am? I agree that bandster hell exists and I swear I'm waiting for it to come get me. Maybe I'm just a bit slower than everyone else. You know your fill is coming soon...you just need to make it until then. If you made it this far, I know you can get to that fill appt. Chin up! We've got your back!

First, you're welcome and any time! And there were a few people on here that posted that their stomachs are constantly talking to them since getting the band. Mine was doing it tonight AFTER I are dinner so I darn well knew I wasn't hungry. But when that's what we're used to we figure we need to eat. All sorts of things to adjust to! :-)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
