Hello All~~

I need help!! I have been banded a little over 4 months! I got a fill this last Tues and since my feel I have been hungary!! I don't know what to do??? Help me!!

Have you eaten anything? Can you eat? It is great that you are not hungry, but you need to get some calories in during the day.

I AM HUNGARY! I JUST WANT TO EAT!

I have days where I am STARVING. I eat protien, it will fill you up more than anything else will and it stays with you longer. Don't know why you are so hungry after a fill, but the band seem to do strange things sometimes.

My doctor says it can take 2 weeks for a fill to "hit", something to do with how the liquid moves within the band. Personally I did not get any restriction until 5 months out. From the day I started on solids I had to measure 3 oz of protein. My doctor prefers that you not "snack" but to grit your teeth and bear it. Can you always do that; probably not. When I got really hungry between meals I would have an oz of plan chicken breast. Pre work out I would also have either a low fat cheese stick or a Premier Ready to drink Protein shake (160 cal, 30 g Protein)

How many cc do you have in your band? My band is in 11cc and I think I have 9cc ... I was hoping to feel more restriction!
