I seem to b hungry every two hours im not filling myself as i was told not to just b content its mainly in the evening my shakes dont even help is this normal 3 weeks post op? Im fighting it and sticking to my diet plan but its hard!

You are sort in a place called 'bandster hell' u have a lapband but very little restriction as yet, u will need to get some fills done in order to start feeling the band more, meanwhile as someone said u just have to white knuckle this time count the calories and exercise according to your doctors guidelines for post - op , i am very surprised that so many people seem to be less informed about post op situations like this than i would have thought. It should be explained to everyone getting banded that most dont feel any restriction at all once they are healed and wont do untill a few fills have been done, it is also not a quick weight loss route, this is a slow steady process that will take some time for you to learn to use the band and for you to change your eating habits. Take your time and just watch what u eat, use this time to learn to eat properly, chew weel, portion sizes etc .. u will be ok just give it all time
