I was banded yesterday!

Had my surgery yesterday.  Feeling good, but I'm hungry.  Nobody seems to mention hunger.  Is is normal to be hungry. 

Hi am Taina I was banded in april I must say it will happen hunger in the start I remmeber crying at times because I could not eat and thought I was hungry latter I learned its head hunger. Good luck on ur journey

I was hungry the day after surgery, but I stayed on my surgeon's food plan until I saw him at my 2.5 week follow up appt...which means I was on liquids (thankfully including protein shakes) for 2.5 weeks!  By the beginning of week 2 I was going CRAZY because I was so hungry, but its worth it to stick it out if you can, and if you can't then call your surgeon's office to see about modifying the food plan to fit your needs.

I didn't feel any sort of restriction until I got my first fill (which was 5 cc's) and now I'm up to 8.5 cc's as of yesterday & I'm hoping this helps with the hunger/head hunger.

Good luck!
