I had my surgery Aug 26th. I lost 17 lbs the first two weeks, but haven't lost a pound since then. I am scheduled for my first fill Oct 29. I couldn't get one sooner due to a work travel schedule. I feel hungry and eat more than I was in the beginning...much more. I'm worried that this isn't working for me. Is it normal to feel hungry this far out? Perhaps I'm healed and there is simply no restriction and it will get better after my first fill?
