Eat more protein. Drink more water.

I don't get my first fill unil May 6th!! What did you guys do to stop being so hungry?? I'm trying not to put back on the pounds! Any suggestions are welcome!

Hi banded on the 6th of april feel the same as you. No restriction and can eat anything.

Hoping that first fill on the 6 th of may will help.

Unfortunately it's par for the course....... This is really the hardest time, need to eat mindfully, do the best you can until you are able to get a fill or 2 or 3, however many it takes. If you are hungry, eat (according to your doctors instructions first few weeks) the first 6 weeks is about healing, not weight loss.

I'm about 5 weeks today and a week away from my first fill. I stay full by drinking my protein and water, it's been doing good so far. Good luck!!!

I am also STARVING!!! I eat 1/2 to 3/4 cups at a time but it only last 1 1/2 to 2 hrs. and I eat protein I drink water when I am suppose to and I have been walking when I can! I know it can take a while before I will feel truly satisfied but this is horrible. I have never been consumed by food before and know I feel like it's all I think about! I hate this!!!

At week three I was able to have cottage cheese and ricotta and smooth soups (tomato). I would space out your food, have soup and then a hour later the protein. As previously mentioned this is a willpower diet until your fills start helping. Took me 5 months to get any restriction and 6 before I was at the sweet spot. Buy a good food scale and measure everything. My nutritionist approved a low fat cheese stick or low cal/fat protein shake as a prework out snack since sometimes I have 7+ hours between lunch and dinner.
