I am post op since Dec 9. Once I got back to eating "real" food, I too was concerned about my hunger issues and my intake. (I was worried the band failed!)
However, these worries ceased after my first fill. I've now had 2 fills -- the last one being 2 months ago. I am down 65lbs. I keep my calories at 1200 a day. I use the My Fitness App on my phone and count every calorie (it has been an amazing help!). Also, I try to find healthy alternative food choices that make me feel full.
I am now at a point where that mean little hunger monster is sneaking up on me again. I suspect it's time for fill # 3 and I am quite ready for it. Perhaps I will finally be in my "zone" after that?
Hang in there, it is a normal part of the process!
Wishing you the best of luck.

I am using My Fitness Pal ( android app ) to monitor calories. Wow. No wonder I am fat! I had no idea how many calories some things had. We don't really eat fried foods and things like that, but things like the creamer in my coffee! Wow.
Anyone else shocked?

Congratulations! I was banded December 9. My first follow up visit was a week ago & I am down 25 pounds! My pants are already loose! My first fill will be Jan 16 -- a little scared, but I know that everything will go well.
I started soft foods now. Let me tell you that scrambled egg I made (using Egg Beaters) was the best thing in the world! My son & I even took a 30 minute walk today -- which made me tired, but also gave me confidence that I can do it! I have a long way to go, but it truly is "one day at a time".
Best of luck on you journey!
