Now that I got your attention :confused:.

I am having problems with feeling full in the large part of my stomac.. I am feeling restriction when I eat but the large part of my stomac is so empty and I am hungry all the time. I am aproching my second year aniversary and I am down 70 lbs. I feel great but I am always hungry. Is there anyone else out there that has had this problem. I am looking into getting another fill but I do not think that this is the answere for this problem since I do have restriction.

I eat the right amount of protien and eat it first of course. when I am full up top the bottom is still craving.

Any help would be great.

This may be more mental then physical. My weightloss surgery center has a psychologist on site to help with this sort of thing. If yours does i suggest you go see them. 70lbs down is nothing to sneeze at. Your doing great!! But you shouldnt be feeling hungry all the time if you have restriction. I wish you good luck. Now lets get back to your title...that was hilarious!! you grabbed my attention!! HAHHA

I hate to disagree with someone but I do not think it is psychological. A growling tummy is not in your head. I'm wondering how many calories you are eating each day. Make sure you are getting enough. It may be that you need to eat more often. For me, a small healthy snack helps calm the growl. A low cal yogurt, applesauce, or a piece of fruit is what I reach for.

Kuddos on your creative title!

God Bless!

Have you had your band checked to see if it has slipped? If it's in the wrong place, it will not trigger the full feeling. Some people have a slipped band and don't even know it. It causes them no discomfort. What you are describing could be a possible slip. It's worth a peek.

I agree with you 100% on the hunger matter. The stomach growling hunger we feel is not in our head. Would anyone say that to a skinny person? No. When I had surgery and had to stay on liquids for two weeks, I was VERY hungry. My nutrtionist said it was "head hunger". Bullshit!. Anyone, even a skinny person would have hunger if they are only drinking one shake a day and having broths and popsicles. I resent being told that everything is in my head. Granted, hunger would be in my head if I consumed a whole pizza and a liter of soda and then I daid I'm still hungry, but when I eat 4-6 oz at a time because I PHYSICALLY cant eat anymore, its safe to say I'm still hungry. The band is full, not me or my stomach. Thats the misperception. I still want ot eat because I'm still hungry, I just cant because it wont go down an gets stuck. Let get that straight. Thanks for letting me vent.:rolleyes:

I don't know if my answer is the right one for everyone but it works for me.

Were told with the lapband we should have smaller meals and sit down for a certain amount of time to eat them. That didn't work for me. I now eat about 6-8 times a day. Just tiny amounts. I might have a couple bites of chicken one minute then an hour later have a handful of nuts. It's the only way to keep that grumbling noise from happening to me. I don't physically ever feel hunger since I started getting fills. I have head hunger thats for sure. But eating small amounts quite a few times keeps both of them at bay and I can easily make all those "snacks" high in Protein.

I am almost your opposite. I rarely am hungry, and I don't eat like I should (working on that now). You didn't mention how much Water you get in, this might help with a fuller feeling. I don't put much in the head hunger.

My stomach growls like crazy but for me I had to teach myself that this is not the same as being hungry. Yes maybe the big stomach is hungry but I think its just food from tthe pouch moving down. My stomach growls so loud its embarrassing and I used to think I was hungry but I have realized I just wanted food (who doesnt?) but I was not actually hungry....its weird!

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
