I'm Starving!!!



Recommended Posts

Hi - I'm hungry - not head hungry but really stomach rumbling, pain hungry - especially at night ( like at 10:00 pm ). If I just ignore it and try to sleep I wake up feeling starved! What can I eat that isn't so fattening ? I'm in stage 4 right now, and cannot wait for my first fill.:hungry: Thanks everyone.

I'm really new, only 7 days post but have just the opposite problem. I found that warm Water with lemon fills me right up and usually lasts thru the night. Good luck with the fill.....Dave:bounce::bounce:

Hi Sweetpea...I understand what you are saying about being truly hungry late at night because it happens to me often, too.

I usually eat dinner around 6:00 and by 10:00 my stomach is really rumbling. What do I do about it? Nothing! I just ignore it!

I just say no, it's ok to be hungry and anyway it's bedtime, not mealtime, so I am not going to eat. Then in the morning after going to bed hungry I find I am hungry for my Breakfast instead of just eating it because it is 'breakfast time.'

;)

I do that too.. If it's near bedtime, which is when I get really hungry and want to pig out.. I take my sleeping pill and go to sleep! Or, I eat a 100 calorie pack, then go to sleep. Depends on how well the sleeping pills are working.

You guys sound as if you have so much more willpower than I do - hopefully after I have a fill things will be easier. Thanks!

with your first fill you won't feel a difference to tell you the truth... i say enjoy the last huge meals of the next few years of your life :D eat!!!!!!!! no need to feel pain from being hungry. bc eventually you will start feeling pain from eating( some what lol).. so while you can eat and swallow normally without thinking about throwing up 30 seconds later from eating a dry food or not chewing enough or having too much of a fill... ENJOY IT :D

Sweetpea,

I never had the rumbling at night, but my girlfriend did. She was banded a month before me. Shewould get the smallest dap of peanutbutter and just take the tinyest little bites. That satisfied her.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
