Frustrated and Hungry...



Recommended Posts

Hi, I was banded on the 31st, I felt great, dropped 19 pounds quickly and now am stuck. I am getting hungry 2 hours after eating and craving things I shouldn't have. I quit soda and alcohol altogether, I wait 30 minutes after I eat to drink Water.< /p>

I feel like I was doing everything right, making healthy eating choices etc, so how come I'm so hungry and craving stuff?

Thankfully I get my first fill this Thursday, is anyone else experiencing any of the same things?:cursing:

Your last sentence answers your first question...you have not had a fill yet so you really have not started using the band yet so you will be hungry. It may take a couple fills to really start seeing results.

As for cravings, maybe you are craving because you are hungry. Or maybe you are not getting enough nutrition...are you remembering to take your Vitamins? Or a lot of people crave food when they are stressed. Maybe you are taking in too many high glycemic carbs like Pasta, potato, rice, sugar and corn which will cause you to crave even more carbs. Maybe you're bored or tempting yourself by keeping goodies around...What ever is causing it, the band will not help you in that department, you need to figure out what is causing the cravings then deal with the cause.

Good Luck!!!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

      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!
