PS... I can't exercise much due to a severe back injury. I had major back surgery 4/32/07 and am still struggling trying to keep up with daily life (singe mom with kids, dishes, laundry, etc.) as well as work a full time job.

I am new to this forum and a recent bandster. I am so discouraged. I was banded 5/24/07 and have only lost 8 lbs and that was in the first 2 weeks. I stuck with the liquid diet and was so hungry! Now I can eat food and I still don't feel full very often. I have stopped eating anything after 6 pm at night in hopes that it will jolt the weight loss.... but I am hungry. Please someone tell me that once I have my first fill I will start to loose weight and quit being so hungry all the time.
