calorie counter by fatsecret.com is awesome and you can sync it to the my diet app on facebook too just found that out yesterday way kool.

I have had my second fill back on the 10th of march and I can still eat more than a cup of food but I eat till I feel full and then I'm full for 3 hours or more I do still drink my cup of milk inbetween each meal like my nut told me to which makes my hunger stay away for a good 4-5 hours. Thankfully I have never have a stuck feeling although sun morning we went to a brunch and I did have 1 small coffee with my food and I could tell that it was too much but I love coffee so much I couldn't pass it up. Next time ill just wait till I'm home for my coffee.

Where do you live?

I had the same problem I had my first fill and was all of a sudden hungier and I also have my next fill on the 10th of march can't wait till that day. I think the reasion is because my body has finally healed and all the swelling is gone aka I'm hungry.

I was banded on 1/12/11 and had my first fill on 2/10/11 I have lost 25 lbs and then this last week was my time of the month so have not lost anything but in a few days I was wigh in again and see how I am. I had no major hunger pains untill after my first fill of 3cc. I had only .2 cc before. Now I'm hungry all the time lol can't wait till march 10th that's my next fill date.

I still drink a cup of coffee a day in the morning. I was told by my nurse who also had the lapband that once a day is ok so I drink my coffee and use milk and splenda in it.

Day 3 and now day 4 not so many hiccups just muscle cramping feeling around the incisions. Thankfully I have some muscle relaxers for my back so I am taking 1 every so often and that really helps.

I use splenda also I have to use a bit more that what I would have with real sugar and yes at first it left an odd tast in my mouth after but I have gotten used to it and now use it for all drinks I drink when I need to add a sweetner.

I took my long hot shower yesterday and it felt so good. I keep my back to the water most of the shower and all is well with the insisions yay.

I was banded on 1/12 and yes I am getting the tummy growling too both upper and lower stomach upper to my knowlege is what show/would be hunger pains bus since we have the band it makes us not hungry cause of the swelling and the lower tummy growling I believe is gas moving around used gas x strips and have had lots old gas lol I go bqck to the dr on the 20th and will actually be moving from clear liquids to full liquids on my own on tues yay can't wait. I am not a broth person so can't seam to make my self drink any more of it so sticking to coffee, tea, and water oh and slowly trying popcicles and jello

K thanks all I feel better about hopping into the shower.

I had my surgery on wed and my dr used glue to close me up I was told I could shower 24 hours after surgery it has now been 48 hours but I'm so nervious about taking a shower with my insisions glued shut I like hot and long showers. Is it ok to take a long hot shower or should I keep it short?????

Yes I have been getting hiccups too banded wed and oh my do they hurt. It feels like they are stuck under my band and they are pushing up on the band and all my swollen tummy parts lol.
