Banded in Mexico yesterday. Awesome place, great people, amazing hotel. Got back to hotel room and walked a lot to relieve gas. Never did but it will soon. Problem is. I am starving. Ate pretzels and combos on plane ride home. Ate a tuna fish sand which when I got home. Maybe 38 hours after surgery. I plan to call them on Monday to see what is going on. I bought the X-ray and it show to be ok. It's not right.

Omg. Thank you. All of you. I assumed (and we all know what happens when you do that) since my sister woke after being banded with no hunger or desire to eat' date=' I would feel the same way. Their were over something people having surgery but I was the only one being banded. All the rest were sleeved so I was on my own. Since I was doing so good I was well, left to be on my own. I pray now I didn't do any damage but if I did, it's my own fault.

Again, thanks for the help and ALL the advise. You guys are great!! I am back on liquids today and asked the surgery facility if I could introduce a small amount of Protein drink so I can my meds and not get sick. Of all the stuff I researched, I never heard of bandster hell or being this hungry post op.

You all rock, thank again!

Omg George! I'm so sorry you were left in the dark. This forum will give you a lit of insight. I suggest also reading the different articles on this site since the experts may be able to guide you through a lot too.

I would contact a Wls center and find out if they have nutrition classes for lap band patients. My local hospital offers them for free and are they are very helpful.

Best wishes to you!

And honestly, this forum is the best, if you want to learn about your band. Sure there are differences of opinion on how things are done, but for the most part, there are many people who willingly give up their time to help out someone who is just starting out, or even someone who's been around for a while, like me.

Just read everything and make up your own mind on how to use the support people give you. But just a warning, sometimes we don't sugar coat things around here, so as long as you're willing to roll with the punches, you can make good friends and gather some keen supporters here who will help you every step of the way, if you just ask.
