I feel so discouraged, I requested a early fill because I gained three pounds after starting mushy diet:(they refused. Said its too early, have to wait until appointment.

Everyone struggles with this. The band isn't meant to be tight right when you get it. Relax until you have a few fills in you, don't get discouraged

Be patient, right now you are healing. I've been banded almost 2 years and it took me around 5 fills to get to restriction. Right now you are going through "Bandster H#ll"!!! It will get better, I promise. Luv my band

It's a struggle for sure. Try making sure you drink more than your 64 ounces of fluids. Fill up on water if you can and that should help with your hunger. The first fill will hopefully give you some relief. It's common for people to gain a wee bit as they transition out of liquids only.
