FrUsTrAtIoN!!!

I go for my 3rd fill on the 1st. Can't wait to get it either, usually I am scared out of my mind. I have been SO HUNGRY lately! It seems like I am not really eating meals but grazing all day. I know that I am not eating anything bad but I also know that I should be only eating 3 times a day. Arn't you supposed to become less hungry as the band gets tighter? Hopefully it gets better because I will cry if I gain weight :(

Me too! I just read one bandster that said if you only have 2.5 cc's, that it is really not a fill at all. Therefore, I am going to try and stay positive and pray there is hope for me yet. I am discouraged, angry, hungry and crying a lot because I am no losing any weight either. Althought I am all of those things, plus being depressed as well, I am not going to give up yet. Maybe we need more fills before this starts working. I go for my 3rd fill next week. I hope this starts working soon. Best wishes to you!

For both of you that are relatively new, I recommend reading the entire blog of band_groupie. Its entertaining and you will laugh and cry. I think it will really help you through these phases...the early one is called bandster hell where you have gone through all this stuff including surgery but still dont have enough fill to help you. The blog is here somewhere and its called the sweet spot but its also on google now. I found it very comforting, reassuring, and motivating...good luck!
