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! :-)

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
