Not hungry yet - 8 days & counting



Recommended Posts

I know that many people talk about being frustrated after banding and before restriction because they are hungry but can't eat. I would like to know if anyone else has just not been hungry after their surgery. I am on day 8 and need to force myself my to "drink" enough calories to keep my metabolism boosted. As of 3:31 pm I have had 1 boost and am looking at a cup of creamed Soup (blended to death) which I know I should eat because it is good for me. The Soup is actually quite tasty so it's not that I don't like the taste.

I am praying that the non hunger stays 'cause I like it but am wondering how many other people experienced this and if they did - how long did it last?

I've been banded almost 9 months and I still don't get that hungry. Today I am a bit hungry though. I had a Protein Shake for Breakfast, a non fat triple latte from Starbucks, a cheese stick and a yogurt. I'm going to go reach for some almonds in a few minutes. I try and stick to 1k calories a day or there abouts. If you start feeling more hunger you can always get a fill. That really can help. Good luck.

There is a point where you begin to wonder if eating is ever going to be necessary!!!!

Enjoy the phase....it's GREAT!!!

'NON hunger' was a totally new experience for me....

"phase", "PHASE!" I don't want to hear this is a "phase" :welldoneclap: When might I expect this "phase" to end?!?!?!?!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
