feeling bloated but still hungry??????

hi all i was banded on the 25th and first couple of days i was so bloated really couldnt eat much but now im starving ive cheated a lil already im so hungry is this normal . but if i do have a lil something i become very bloated i guess the word would be  help!!!!!

Can't help lots as I had a RNY and don't very often feel real hunger. NOW head hunger I feel all the time. Try to really listen to your body and see which you are feeling. If it is real body hungar you might try calling your doctor for advice. Sorry you are having arough time.

Oh, Cheryl --- it is so good to hear someone else say "head hunger".  My brain wants to eat and eat and eat but my belly is full!  What a mind game this will be!

I had my surgery on the 25th too & I can TOTALLY relate to what you feel!
Still trying to figure it all out myself.

Rachel, it will get easier.  I have read 2 books about this and we are mourning the loss of something ---- FOOD!  :-)  I have not been hungry once just my head has been hungry ---- now with the band, I think you may actually feel hunger...not sure how that works!  Hang in there everyone!  :-)

yes but i think i realy am hungry feels just like when i was hungry before surgery ?

I had the band surgery on the 18th of November.  I understand the hungry part.  there are times when I feel like I can eat a house - but after a couple of bites I am back to being full. 

There is definately a difference between "head" hungry and your body actually needing food - this was my major hurdle.  I would think its noon - time for lunch!!  But while making something to eat - I would realize - i really dont want this.  But if you are hungry - talk to your doctor.  I am sure he/she would love to hear from you.  It may be time for an adjustment for your band.  You can also try talking to the dietitian  - they may have some insight for you!  Best of luck to you!
