I read so much from people who are struggling that they are still hungry - They think that the band will take away their hunger.

For me it hasn't - Yes I am full on a smaller amount of food - I can be physically full but mentally hungry which manifest it's self in to what I consider some times as physical hunger

I just wanted to know from other how the band affected their hunger issues.

For me I say they have banded my tummy & not my head where the real problems lie...

Thanks for your imput..

No with the sleeve food does not get stuck. You can eat anything you want, just not very much of it. You do get full pretty fast.

I am kind of a grazer though. I get full pretty fast, but then maybe a couple hours later, I might have a healthy snack.

There are some days I just don't feel like messing with food or cooking or dishes and I will have 3 Protein shakes per day and be perfectly satisfied.

I didn't start having band problems until after I had the band for a couple of years. I could just see more problems coming, so I revised to the sleeve before that started happening. I am really glad I did.

How much can you eat per meal of real food..

How's your sweet tooth :0)

What about the head hunger...

Hi, I really don't get full blown hungry but my body tells me that I should probably think about eating within the hour. If I truly crave something which is from time to time then I have it. I have been wanting a butterfingers candy bar-waited a week before I got it and I ate it. I don't know why a butterfingers as my favorite always was a snickers. In the evening, I usually have a sugar free cream pop, Kroger's brand. I agree with the person about the protein, takes longer for me to get hungry if I have protein. Although I've been cautioned about peanut butter, I eat about a tablespoon with 2 to 4 crackers in the morning, 8 am, and that will last me up to 2 pm if I go that route. I just make sure that it kinda melts in my mouth.
