Hi all,

My name is Ciaran, I had my band fitted on 15th June.

So am now a week post op, I had my done through the Hospital Group in the UK, and the op was performed at Chelsfield Park Hospital in Kent.

Hope everyone is coping ok, I have been fine but the hunger has come back now the swelling has gone, I have been advised this is " Bandster Hell"

Good luck to all!

Hi Ciaran,

Hi Ki,

I am not doing too bad. Thus 1st few days I found I was pre-occupied with taking the pain medication and having friends round to see me and it was all a bit of a novelty in a way ( sounds a bit strange to call it a novelty but I think you know what I mean!)

But I noticed on Saturday my appetite coming back and feeling a bit peckish, whilst definetly sticking with liquids I craved more and my old food insecurities came back with me not knowing when to stop.

I have felt a bit weak also but I think I need to get some Protein shakes as I think this may be the problem. Yesterday I felt quite low and although again, sticking to the diet, still consuming too much I think.

I am worried about the next few weeks as once I go towards solids, how I will control it.

How about you?

I know what you mean on the novelty front! Every one and their dog has been in to see me at work I have been feeling a bit like a freak show lol. I am healing really well and am really happy with that, I was on a sloppy diet straight away mash and yoghurt and stuff. I have not really had any low moods which is nice I had been expecting some! Sorry to hear you have been feeling a bit that way :grouphug:

PM me if you wanna chat
