I was banded on 2/9/11 and had my first fill on 3/9/11. I've lost a total of 20 lbs (this included pre-op diet). I have a question....why does my stomach growl even when I'm not hungry?

OMG, I was banded the same day and I have lost 21 lbs. I have the same question. It growls after 2 hours and I feel like I am starving. I had my first fill last week and still have no restriction. I am also VERY tired all the time. I am taking my vitamins, working out and eating protein so I have no idea why I feel so tired. Anyone else feel like we do?

Hey Girls! I was banded on March 2, 2011 and Ive yet to get a fill. Its due on the 31st of March. Im down 16lbs. Anyway, my stomach does that, too. I think it's because your stomach actually is "hungry", but you dont really feel hungry bc of the band. It will probably go away as soon as your body is use to the food intake. I have a different thing affecting me, girl! I am NEVER tired!! I cannot sleep @ night!! I hope it helps when I go back to work on April 2nd. I work 5am-130 and I am usually exhausted when I come home. Good luck w everything!!!

Thanks for the info. Nice to know I'm not alone. I'm not "tired" all the time but I have yet to make myself exercise. I found that reading this forum helps to answer a lot of my questions and gives me encouragement too! Good luck to both of you as well!
