Fat 2 Fab Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 I got banded on 1/18. I feel soo hungry already. They said I shouldn't feel hungry. On the 4th day I ate 1/4 of a quesadilla. I chewed until it was liquid, it took me like an hour to eat that, because I was soo hungry. I don't want to mess up my band so I started to drink the yogurt and when I drink it I feel stuffed even after a few sips. Do you think my band slipped? I am so nervous.

I got banded also that day! I wasn't hungry, although on day 4 I was having head hunger. I made dinner for the family and thought---yummm and why am I drinking chicken broth and they're eating a great meal? If you were full on the yogurt, I'm pretty sure you're ok. I wouldn't try to eat solids though yet or it will slip(rip the stitches). Try and find something to do that will distract you. Popsicles are great with me--oral fixation LOL! Brushing your teeth helps, or maybe a lifesavers mint? When in doubt ask OCC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoriBecky Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 DO NOT EAT ANYTHING SOLID UNTIL 3 WEEKS AFTER SURGERY!!! ok.. i'm not yelling, but this is so important! Only take in things you could take through a straw. If you are filing up on just a little liquid yogurt you aren't really hungry. Make sure you are keeping very well hydrated! Sometimes dehydration feels like hunger. If you are truly feeling hungry or getting light headed check in with Dr. Miranda at the clinic (ext. 86) but don't eat until day 22 after surgery unless she tells you its OK!! We aren't trying to deprive you, we just want to make sure all your surgery swelling is down prior to you eating solid food. Its for your safety and success!

Anyways, she is being naughty..but I think it's just bc she has the same problem any of us have...it's the oral fixation. I so wanna taste the food I am smelling, but know I can't eat it. Someone told me that she had the same problem (although she is not a bandster, YET)....& she would taste the food, then spit it out if she just couldn't help herself! LOL I been losing nearly 2lbs per day, Krystal....you can do it too! Just give yourself some credit for coming this far & don't let it get the best of you.

Just let me know when. I had an idea that we party on a Friday nite, then get banded on Saturday. That way we can enjooy our partying without worrying too much about the band.
