I felt just like you last month. I just hit my green zone this week after my third fill. I'm not hungry AT ALL. The weight is finally coming off. Even if I didn't lose another pound, it's AMAZING to finally not be hungry all the time. Hang in there. You'll hit the zone.

I lost 130 pounds in OA 25 years ago but then got married, dropped the program, returned to binge eating, and gained it all back.
I was banded in March this year and rejoined OA in August. It is helping me immensely.
I also began attending Codependents Anonymous this year.
Life without excess food, my drug of choice, is hard. These programs help me learn new coping mechanisms.
Good luck.

I'm in the same boat. Surgery on 10/23. First fill scheduled 11/13. The first week post op I guess I was really swollen so I felt really restricted in a good way. I hardly had anything to eat and list 10 lbs. Right at one week my hunger came back HUGE. My PA said that would happen and it will probably take 3 fills before I'll feel it again. Fills every two weeks. Means six more weeks of hungry and am just white knuckleing it:( I just keep reminding myself that this is a marathon and not a sprint. Also, that the weight didn't come on overnight and unfortunately isn't going to come off overnight.
