Question about hunger pains after banding



Recommended Posts

After 3 fills I finally feel restriction although I am VERY hungry. My question is this, when you have a band and your stomach growls is it suposed to be a more pronounced experience. I mean I feel like my stomach is turning! Just wanted to know if this is unusual.

hi imb316

what are you eating? keeping the Protein up (keeps you fuller longer). the movement / sounds may just be digestion. if you are really feeling hunger pains, try upping your Protein even more, but take small bites and chew.

good luck

Mine does it too. I now have these super big, washing machine churning, kind of growls.

Mine is the same way!!! It growls and I think everyone can hear! That's when I usually just drink a big glass of Water and it quiets down.

I thought that because it would slip into the rest of the stomach, drinking Water wouldn't give the feeling of fullness? (Read it somewhere on the site):confused2:

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

      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! 😞
