Okay, so as I broadcasted yesterday, I had my first fill yesterday morning. I have been STARVING ever since :-(!

I am on liquids until Sunday (I go to mushies then) and Monday back to regular food, but is it normal to be this hungry after a fill? I thought there was a nice honeymoon period right after while the swelling was going down where I wouldn't even want to eat, but it seems I'm ravenous. Is it possible at this early stage I can tell the doc didn't put enough in my band?

HELP! I'm starving!!! :thumbup: :w00t:

How are you doing? I am hungry but just got home from the grocery and am getting ready to cook some potato soup for supper.

Hi there. I started mushies yesterday and honestly didn't feel too much difference.

Today, I'm back on solids and I had a 4 oz yogurt, small banana and a cheese stick for breakfast (around 2 hours ago) --I could've eaten more, trust me-- and my stomach is starting to growl. I am wondering if it is head hunger?? I don't know how I'm 'supposed' to feel. I am going to drink some Water now and try to hold out two more hours until lunch.

How long before I need to call the doc and tell them I need another fill? I don't know if I will feel restriction right away or it's something that happens a couple days later....

I just want to be able to know the whole restriction thing and be able to control my portions. I'm not looking to not be able to swallow my own saliva LOL

I had my first two fills only a week apart, and they were fairly aggressive fills too. The first was 4cc and the second 2ccs. If you have zero restriction, which is highly possible after your first fill, why wait?

You had your surgery only two days after I did and I just had my fourth fill today. I'm now going in 1/2cc increments until I get to my sweet spot because I'm not looking forward to not being able to swallow my own spit either. That happened today with one of the people getting filled, but the overfill was caught before she got out the door. My doctor makes you camp out in the lobby for a while after your fill to prove you can get a cup of Water down. Because it was caught so early they only had to take a bit out, not do a complete unfill.

I finally felt a little restriction last night but I think I am still able to eat too much. I had a whole cup of "scrambled" ground round. I didn't think I should be able to hold all of that but I did. I am still full this morning. I am hopeful that I will feel restriction and not be hungry for at least a few more weeks. i don't go back to the doc until Feb 24.
