3 weeks Post-op, Hungry?



Recommended Posts

Hello! I wanted to ask if it is normal to feel, well, the same as you did before you got the band, hunger wise? I feel as hungry as I did before surgery, and I hope this is normal. I've never thrown up or seriously over eaten, and did well on my post-op diet. Help?? Thanks everyone!

Welcome to bandster hell. Until you get a few fills, you may feel no restriction. This is perfectly normal. Stick to the alloted portion sizes and drink lots of fluids!

I ate pretty normally after I got banded. I focused on healing first and diet later. It's hard to live like your band is working when it's not yet. Don't get discouraged. If I gave you a car and told you to drive it somewhere you would look at me like I was crazy if it didn't have gas in it yet. You have the car now you need to get some gas to start your journey. Good luck!

YES!! I actually wondered a night this week if there was really a band in me. I was eating sushi and thought I should be full now, ok now I should feel full, no really I should stop now and realized maybe I should listen to my brain!!!

I think I need a fill to get my band and my brain on the same page.

I'm 6 months post op and I'm still in bandster hell but with the help of my fitness pal I'm doing OK.

I know that when I go for my fill in August I will be where I should be. My doctor is extremely conservative with fills. I don't want to be overfilled so I'm OK with that.i'm also glad that my surgeon does my fills so he is on top of any complications that might occur.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
