I don't know what to do. I've been banded for about 3 weeks now. The 1st wk I was great, I felt like I had a lot of restriction. Week 2 the swelling went down and I still had a great amount of restriction. Now I'm only on my 3rd week and I feel like I can eat a house. Why am I feeling so hungry, starving, like an open whole in my stomach. The dam thing makes all type of noise and I'm passing gas all day long.(which piss me off because I haven't move my bowels for about a week.:crying:)

Anyways, this is the main issue when I was banded I came out of surgery with 2.5 cc fill. So I'm not sure why I feel so hungry ,I haven't eaten anything I wasn't suppose to. I've lost about 10lbs since surgery and flucuating 2-3 pounds daily. I know my port is still functioning because I still feel the slight pressure and i have a lot of gas. So what do I do now?:thumbup: (I feel really hungry every 2-3 hours.)

I won't see my doctor for another 2 1/2 weeks. I want to know if I'm doing somthing wrong:sad:.

ok guys i have a i guess crazy question.....what exactly is restriction? i have had 3 fills and i still can eat more than a saucer of food... the only difference i feel is when i eat dry meats, cornbread, just really textured foods...they are hard 2 go down..i get the sliming, productive burps, and hiccups...is this supposed to be restriction? If so, then y do i just feel frustrated because im still hungrY?
