Hey Guys,

So I had my 4th fill about 10 days ago, bringing me up to 6.75 cc in my 11cc band and am feeling better restriction. What I'm going through now is that I'm eating much less per sitting, but I find myself hungry about 2 - 3 hours after each meal. Is this normal? Does this mean I'm close to feeling full restriction? I was banded in June and have plateaued at around 23 pounds lost, hoping to lose more before the holidays.

Thanks!

Steve

I would actually argue that you need another fill. I've only had two, but I'm definitely not hungry after three or four hours (although it's starting to creep back a little). I'd agree with some others that you should step up the Protein a little. I cheat sometimes (with a cookie or something) but never have rice or Pasta as part of a meal. Most of my skinny friends tend to have protein and a vegetable for dinner and since carbs don't always work well with the band anyway, I decided to follow suit.

Best of luck to you! I really think you'll know your sweet spot when you see it.
