Hey everyone. So I had my band put in on 12/01/11. I have a 14cc band. My surgeon put 5cc in the band during surgery. I have had 1 fill (6 weeks after) where they gave me 2cc. So now I am at 7cc. Here is my issue... well, after surgery I felt pretty great. I could eat a small amount after a few weeks of healing and I would last 4-5 hours before even thinking about food again. toward the end of my 6 week stretch before my first fill, the hunger started. I could eat almost anything it seemed like. without thinking I would binge on things and I am pretty sure I have stretched out my pouch. So then I had my fill which put me at 7cc. the first few days were awesome. my band felt good again and I started to loose weight. well now I am back to eating a lot more and always feeling hungry. even on days where I eat super healthy and exercise my ass off, I still feel like I am on a diet again. I just want to be able to eat right and feel full for longer and continue to lose weight. I have been so bad lately that I am worried I might have even caused a slipped band or that I have screwed something up. I mean, I am at 7 of 14 (half full) on my band. I assumed that half full is quite a bit. the nurse who did my fill even said "in no way do we want you to be close to 14cc" but I am worried that it is not working right for me. I am crossing my fingers that a few fills more will help. any advice on this or similar stories? lastly, is there anything I should do diet wise pre-fill? I have read online people saying to like fast on Water for two days before fills, etc. any thoughts? -Austin
