hunger pains? hmmmm....i feel nothing



Recommended Posts

Well I was banded on Monday, and I dont have any hunger pains. I drink my Protein Shakes and Water because I know I have to, but I dont feel the fullness either. Is this normal?

Anyone else experience this? does it go away and return back to normal?

I felt the same way for about 6 days. Then the hunger kicked in for me! Now on day 7 I can eat mushie foods and that has helped, I'm not hungry again. Enjoy the not being hungry feeling just make sure you keep drinking,.

It took me a week to start to feel hungry. Now I am trying to differentiate between head hunger and stomach hunger. Especially on days like today when my 5 little monkeys seem to forget that we have rules here!

I'm so glad you asked this question! I was banded on the 8th and I still have not felt hungry. It's very, very weird! Don't get me wrong, I like it, but it's very strange. I've been living off of Water and Isopure.< /p>

I was not hungry at all until about day 5 or 6, then it really kicked in. I wanted to chew! Oh well, I still have another 11 days of full liquids - I will get there! A lot of it was head hunger, not real hunger. That is something I am going to have to learn to deal with and not respond to.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
