I had my LAP-BAND® surgery on 8/30/10. During the first ten days post-op, I lost 9 pounds and I haven't lost any weight since. For the first 2.5 weeks my body "told" me exactly when and how much to eat so I was OK with that...until now. I've been hungry for the past few days. I have an appointment to see my doctor on 10/5 but called today to see if I could get in earlier. He's out of the office next week and, even though they offered for me to see another doctor, I decided to wait and stick with my surgeon. During my pre-op process, the nutritionist had me on a "one cup" diet, eating one cup of food every 2-3 hours. No liquids 30 mins before or after. I'm thinking about just going back to that again until my appointment. Has anyone ever had this experience? Any advice/support would be greatly appreciated!!
