down in the dumps

well I have been down in the dumps now for well over a month my problem is I am always hungry and no restriction I have been trying to get a fill for ages now my last fill was in June, I have 9cc in my band. I am going back to see the health team tomorrow to get weighted so I am hoping they might fill it then for me. I am taking a bowl with me which I eat my stir fry and pasta from and I have also took a photo to show them how much I can eat the bowl is full to the brim. I think my mood is low as nxt month see my 1st year post op on the 24th Nov I found a price list for band fills etc which don,t come cheap? The first year is all a fixed price you see.

Are you getting enough protein? You should probably be eating more lean meats rather than pasta. The dietician I've been seeing has said to stay away from breads, rice & pasta. I'm 4 months post-op - haven't had any bread, pasta or rice and I've only had one fill so far. I've lost 42 pounds so far....

Also, are you getting any form of exercise in to your daily routine? That could help jump start your metobolism too.
