Feeling hungry

Hi Kelly. It is normal for your hunger to return – it’s just a  sign everything is healing well. Since you are having very small portions too it’s not enough to make you feel satisfied.  Until you have had a few band fills and it is optimally adjusted the band might not be able to help you much. But you will get there – keep positive   It’s fab you are losing weight so keep at it  xx

in the meantime you may need to increase your portions a little or build in healthy snacks between meals – stewed fruit, mashed banana, high protein yoghurts. Have lots of soft veg with meals

Also  have a look in The Kitchen for  meal plans and recipes for more ideas xx

Exactly what bandboozled said, if it were me idd intoduce a few snacks inbetween i would keep my portions small. They sell portion plates on here why dont you get one and keep to that even though you wont be restricted at least you can keep hold and control over your portions with the plate. And when your at optimum level the plate will probably be to big hehe. Oh to be 2 weeks post op again with all my goals and positive mind set hehe. Cant wait to hear all your fab experiences with the band xxx

Just add 2 100 cal or less snacks if that dosnt help have a slighly bigger portion like what you would give a toddler and after your fills youll get there. Its normal to gain weight in the next few food transitions. Dont worry your gona do amazing xxx
