Today, I really noticed my appetite returning.
Even though the portion size was marginally bigger, I am finding my hunger returns quicker than say, 4 days ago.
I read my Lap Band book, and it says that the 3rd- 4th week your appetite returns, and that on the 4th week they will adjust the band. I am yet to have my first fill, and just notice that I get a little hungrier than before.
I am starting to think I might call the surgery this week, and ask if they will consider seeing me earlier than the 8th June. I am so worried that as my appetite increases, I will eat more, and eat inappropriately.
Unsure if they will agree, or if they are booked out, maybe if someone cancels their appt, I can get in on short notice.
In the meantime, do any of you who have already been banded, have any ideas to suppress the returning appetite before I have my first fill?
Yikes!
Lots of water!! I just went through "Bandster Hell" last week and water really helped. Also, I found it helped to eat before I felt like I was really starving. This kept my blood sugar up and also helped with cravings!
ReplyDeleteSorry I can't help because I'm not banded yet, but hang in there. You should definitley call the surgeon's office to see if they can fit you in sooner. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteHi Grace, I am really slack with water intake, as previously posted. I will now fill a jug and leave it nearby, so I can see how much I have drunk in a day.
