I was banded on Nov 11, And 2 weeks later im starving is this a normal feeling. Im scared that i will cheat. I try and drink plenty of fluids through the day to keep the hunger down. I have lost 20 lbs already but scared that i will start gaining it back. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I find that I am also starting to get hungry towards meal time and I have increase a little on how much I eat. When I saw the Doctor last Monday he said that would happen and that means I will probably need a fill the next time I go in which will be 12/16. You are just healing and it is normal. When is your first fill?

You are doing GREAT!!!!!! 46.4lbs Amazing. My fill is 4 weeks post op. My weight loss center is in toronto which is 40 hours away. So i will probably never see my surgion again. But there is a clinic that does it in my town so im hoping he will fill me in 4 weeks.

Its normal to be hungry. They probably didn't give u any fill during surgery so right now your gunna feel just like u did pre op. I'm 2 yrs out but remember my 1st month. Everytime I went to Albertsons to pick up my tomato Soup, I smelled the fired chicken in the deli and almost caved. It took 3 fills to get me any restriction. Here I am 104 lbs lighter with about 9 to go telling u that it will get better.

Good luck!

I was starving too and I ate fast and didn't chew enough and I will never do that again it hurts and is scared now I don't want to eat and not starving like I was

Just a thought do you have any snacks between meals like yougurt or a shake. I was told to eat 6 smalls meals a day

versus 3.

I haven't really moved on to meals yet I m on mushes somewhat but healing from dental surgery
