Recommended Posts

Hello all,

Well before my question here is a brief history. I am 33 yrs old(male) Weighed 320 on day of surgery(jan. 10th 2008) and at 269 right now. I have had 3 fills totaling 3.5cc in a 10cc Allergan band. My last fill was 2 weeks ago and still at this point if I eat to fast or dont chew my foods right I will get stuck, however that is not the problem the last 3 days I have been starving and feel I can eat way more then I should but with getting stuck at times I would think I have the right restriction? So what the hell is going on I mean how can I be starving and still get stuck at times??

Thanks

What kinds of foods are you eating?? How much are you eating per meal - are you eating Snacks - Are you getting enough hard Proteins that stick with you longer. Some foods are slider and don't keep you full for long

If you are getting stuck on hard proteins that means you are either eating too fast - not chewing well enough

IMHO I don't think we really can always distinguish between real hunger and head hunger - Even now for me I can be physically full - but still want to eat.

Plus sometimes I think we are just hungrier than others - depending on what's going on in your life - emotions, boredom, being tired...

Since you are a male we can't blame pms :thumbup:

Also I have found anytime I say I am going to eat less - I want to eat more -

My hunger really varies from day to day. If I work out with weights, I am way hungrier that day. Sometimes there is no rhyme or reason for it. I just think our bodies are miraculous machines that sense what we need. If you continue to be really hungry, you may need another fill.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
