Hi

I am new here. I am waiting for my consultation for banding. I have got permission for funding for banding from the PCT / NHS. I live in the UK.

What I really want the truthful answer to is when you have had the banding are you hungry? I am hungry all the time. I am on insulin so I think that that does some of it.

Would think though that if you are hungry and can't physically eat anything it must be terrible.

Jackie :help:

Since i have had my band i am not really bothered by hunger. It really curbs my appetite. I really do not eat much anymore. So cool................ Donna

I got banded Sept 25 and I was told to eat mashed potatoes with ham but very little bits of ham and other stuff. I eat Soup too. But I havent been hungry because I eat until I feel ok. I have lost 9 kilos. I live in France. But when I see other things like fast food and I want to eat and I said I am not hungry. But Being over weight a very long time. Before I ate just because I felt like it not because I was hungry.

The muscle milk tastes very good. It has an odd texture (very thick) for pudding, but the taste is top-notch. I have the chocolate flavor...I'm not even sure if they have another flavor. I've been drinking the banana Scream flavored shakes from Chamption Nutrition, and I like those a lot...of course I love bananas too.

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
