I have the same problem! I thought this was going to be a miracle cure and get rid of the hunger but it actually doesn't seem any better since my first fill. The Dr. said he's very agressive with his fills so that you don't have to have very many but I'm still hungry, I kid with everyone that I'm like a baby and I have to be fed every 2 hours or my stomach growls to the point of painful. I'm very careful not to drink 1 hr before or after a meal and once I start eating I do fill up fast but in no time at all I'm hungry again. Grrrrrr, it's frustrating

This is EXACTLY how I feel! It makes me feel better to know Im not the only one feeling this way!

I had my !st fill. I was so nervous about the procedure. It wasnt that bad. They had me drink Water afterwards, and I thought I could feel a little difference. But now after a few days it feels like I did b4 the fill!

Thanks guys for the advice. I guess Im just so scared that Im not going to lose any weight despite all the effort Ive put into this. I am going to stay away from the scale for a few days. :thumbup:

Its been 3 days since my surgery. I was banded on June 1st. I have been really sore and bloated. I have only ate a little Soup and slim fasts shakes. I got on the scale this morning and weighed exactly the same. I did a liquid diet 2 days before surgery and low calorie diet 6 weeks before that. I lost ten lbs. during the low calorie diet. I am starting to freak out and think Im not going to lose anymore weight. I ate 4 bites of a scrambled egg this morning and almost threw that up. Has anyone had similar problems?

I had the surgery 2 days ago and woke up in recovery with the worst shoulder pain ever. I have had other surgeries including hysterectomy, but none were as painful as this. I asked to be seated in a chair and almost immediately the pain lessened. I have been moving around as much as I can and it seems to help. Good Luck.

Ive been on a low carb diet for a week and when I went for my weighin at the clinic I actually gained 1 lb. I could'nt believe it. I did not cheat at all. The rules are at clinic is that you cannot gain any weight before surgery. Since I gained 1 lb they moved my surgery up one week to March 31. I have to go back before the surgery to make sure I lost that lb. I don't know what to do. I am still going to follow the diet and hope I can lose the weight.
