Thank you all for your helpful comments. Slow and Steady !!!!!!!

Thank you ladies..... I really needed that encouragement today!!!

I am getting my third fill tomorrow. Most of the time, I still feel the same hunger and cravings I had before my lap band surgery. The doctor told me it may take me to the third or fourth fill to get to the green zone. Is this considered normal. For all accounts , I cannot tell I have had surgery. Is this going to get better???????

Congrats!!!

Thank you 2muchfun. I did call my doctor and they don't seem to be worried. They think it is probably just gas. So I will get something for that and see if it helps.

Thank you lisacaron. I think I will give him a call!!!

I am 25 days post op and just started yesturday having a pain in the left side of my stomach area. It is not unbearable pain, but pain no less. Is it common to be this far out in post op and have this kind of pain going on? I don't feel any restriction so I am really struggling with my eating. My first fill is May 19th. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thank you Bandista!!!!

Thank you catfish87 for your uplifting words!!!!!

I am 14 days post op. Up until about 3 days ago I was feeling fine, not really hungry. Now I am starving all the time and want to eat everything I can get my hands on. I have not had any problems with food going down. I am drinking my Protein drinks and getting all my Water in. Physically I feel great. I just feel like I don't even have a band and am obsessing over food just like I was before the surgery. Is this normal? I realize I have not had a fill yet, but I just really expected to feel different at this point. I know it is a marathon not a sprint!!!!!! Any advice will be hugely appreciated!!!

Thank you catfish87!!!

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with popcorn. I am a long way from trying it but it is something I love. Thinking it is going to be a no no.....
