Hi, Yes I was hungry about a week an half after surgery. Not super hungry but I could eat more. It's been 3 weeks and few days and yes I am hungry 3 to 4 hours after having a meal. I also thinks it's my brain and not my stomach talking. I have my first fill this coming Thursday and can't wait to start the process of adjusting to the right zone. It's seems to be normal to be hungry, stay strong and don't give into the old self.

I had surgery on June 11th. The surgery was a piece of cake, the pain was not great right after. The second day I was in bed most of the day, but did get out for a walk around the house. I'm down 22 lbs in just under 4 weeks. I'll be going for my first fill this Thursday. I have been hungry and eating about 70% of my preop normal diet. I feel great and would do it again. I'm looking forward to loosing my 100 lbs.
