I just wish you would learn how to type.

You are exactly right. Post op is not easy especially in the first few weeks when you are so limited in what you can eat... except for Brenda62 who apparently thinks that it's a breeze.

Please don't call me newbie. That is very condescending.
-
Ummmm, if you knew what you were talking about you would know that the doctors say NOT to eat more than 3 times per day.
-
You are exactly right. They say when you can eat more than you normally do then you might need a fill.
-
You also have to watch how much you eat at one time because this can cause the lapband to slip. Sticking to Proteins will fill you up without a lot of food.
-
Exactly, at some point your appetite gets larger but the lap band will keep you from overeating. Just keep eating/drinking lots of Protein because this is what will fill you up.

You are the one with the bad attitude. It is not a mental thing that I am talking about, but a physical thing. I was eating exactly what I was supposed to be eating but I would get very hungry so I knew exactly what she is talking about--unlike yourself. This week I am back to normal and I am not so hungry so it was something temporary and could have been hormonal.

I wish that everyone on this site would quit being so condescending. Negativity on this site is not the answer. I wish everyone would stop assuming that you just can't stop eating because you have no self-control. Let the doctor tell you that not another patient. I am having the exact same problem that you are and so I know what you are talking about. I am on my fourth week of my lap band. I have lost 16.5 pounds and have gained back 1.5 since last week. I am able to eat whatever I want and my stomach doesn't reject anything. I have been fine for the first three weeks and then all of a sudden it is like I never had the surgery. I haven't been to the doctor yet--I go on Monday. I can't believe that this is normal for the fourth week. I know I have to watch what I eat but even after I eat I am still hungry. I don't know what the problem is.
