why am i still hungry after 2nd fill? is this normal

It may take several fills before you stop getting hungry in between meals. It took my 6th fill before I was able to go 4 hours without getting hungry.

i sure hope that it dosnt take that long i dont go for anther fill untill may 24th

It does take that long. I did not understand this before the surgery. I didn't realize that they only add small increments of fluid into your band because your stomach has to adjust each time they give you a fill. That is why you cannot eat solids for two days or maybe more depending on you. I am on my second fill and sometimes I am able to eat especially in the evening and sometimes I get discomfort and I stop eating. I go for my 3rd fill on May 14th and I can't wait. The nurses in my doctor's office tell me that the 3rd time is a charm and hopefully I wills start to feel restriction and start losing more weight. I am down 23 pounds since the onset but I am going back and forth on pounds for the last few months. I am hopeful that the next fill will be the one that gets me going. There is a post on this website that explains the fill process in detail, it really helped me to understand. If I find it I will come back and tell you where to locate it. Good luck and I will check in on you soon. It seems that we had our surgery about the same time.

"They" say everyone's sweet spot if different....just gotta find it......I used Dr. Kim in Colleyville, TX and he told me that each person'd body sets the perfect weight loss ratio with the band......

It wasnt until my fourth fill that I started feeling restriction.

Glad I am not the only one

I was getting really stressed out that I was down 33 lbs since starting the pre-surgery diet and now I am starting to gain 1 lb here and there. It is driving me crazy. Glad I am not alone.
