Don't feel bad for feeling hungry before your first fill. There's nothing in there to tighten you up right now! However, as Solrac Spree said, think about your choices. This isn't something that's a miracle cure, but it is definitely a useful tool to change your eating habits for the better and for life. A little dessert now and then will not hurt anyone, but you still have to be mindful or your portions. If you're just having a day where you're craving something bad for you, have a teeny bit, then distract yourself with something. Talk to a friend, exercise, clean the house, or just whatever you like to do. It helps to keep you from thinking about food. Honestly, though, you've only been banded a month. You're going to slip up. Don't beat yourself up over it. We're all either going through the same thing (I've been banded a week) or have been through it. Just be patient. The learning takes time!
