I am going in for my first fill next tues which seems like eternity because I'm super hungry most the time and worried I will slip into old habits. Anyways tonight I ate 2 pieces of angel food cake and strawberries and whip cream and now have that shoulder gas for the first time in weeks. This is the first time I have really over ate after surgery - I mean sometimes I feel like I have but usually I am below 1000 calories a day and have lost 26 lbs post op (surgery was June 5). So eww! Not happy with myself but think I learned a lesson and don't ever want to do that again. Reassured me I must have a band in there I was beginning to wonder with the hunger! Feel crappy but at the same time know this will give me motivation not to do that again- at least in the near future!

I had my surgery on 6/4/2012. My first fill is a week from this coming Friday. I hope my doctor is liberal on his fills!

I think we have all done what u did and learned from it, the band we forget is there sometimes but it will wrap u on the knuckles to remind you at times like that

Its good u learned from it and know not to eat like that again

Hi Shellvw,

I reacently had my surgery on June 21st and I am expericencing the samething right now. Right after surgery was great could only eat or drink very little and was satified, but now I am eating more than 3 to 4 oz. I had my first post op appt. on Monday and discussed this with my doctor and told them I wanted a fill, but of course you have to wait 6 weeks after surgery with my doctor before you can get your first fill. So right now it is all me. I have lost 19 pounds in three weeks, but most of that was right after surgery. I eat mainly fish and seafood or chicken. I feel your frustration, but we have to be patient. Our weight did not come on over night and in long term I think I will be happy with my decision when I start to get those fills and learn my band. Good Luck to you.
