I have been banded a little over six months. I had one fill at six weeks and am never hungry. My first meal is typically at noon and dinner at 7 or 8 pm. I am sooooo surprised with it and mostly shocked. For the first 4 months I forced 3 meals done because people are supposed to eat three healthy meals a day! My NUT and surgeon finally got it thru my head to go off the Protein drinks and only eat when I am hungry. I have been doing this for a month now and the weight is still melting off. I am down 104 pounds.
Everyone is different with the hunger issue and I just feel really fortunate.

Hey Ashley, sounds like you are getting lots of help and support. I just logged in today. I have been hanging out on OH and just heard of these forums.
I was banded 1/30/2012 and am down 101 pounds. Like Dennis, I have only had one fill and will not have anymore as long as I conti ue to lose. I also log every thing I eat and my exercise each day. I use MyFitnessPal.com which also has an app for iPhone and Android as I use both. I eat out all the time and also find many restaurants listed on it also. As aim losing, I am only eating two meals a day with One snack for around 500 calories in and burning 500 calories a day. Keep in touch with your NUT and surgeon so they can guide you.
Oh, I forgot to tell you that I grew up in Boca Raton and have been living in Orange Park (near Jacksonville, FL) for the past 12 years!
I would be happy to bea support buddy too.
