I am 2 and half months post op n had one fill. This fill fills about right. Im only able to eat bout 700 ~1000 Cal a day .....but the last three days I have had no desire to eat. I have to make myself eat just to get nutrition but def not.for pleasure. I recently got into a jacuzzi n kind of.thought maybe the hot Water n stimuli made my band liquid tightet...I kno stupid.right ..I also think that maybe its BC im getting closer to my first.short term.goal that somehow.subconscious I so excited.that..tricking myself not to eat as much. Yesterday I at bout 550 n that was BC.I forced myself to eat an Oz or two of.chicken. What do u guys think

How many cc's do you have in your band?

If one fill got you to the green zone, consider yourself very lucky! Most people need a few fills to get to their green zone.

Your apetite can come and go. Some days I struggle to get in 500 calories, other days I'm making myself work out extra hard because I've eaten more than usual, and am still starving! I'm not sure about a hot tub making the band tighter...I know a change in altitude, or stress, among other things, can make the band tighten. Maybe the heat does?

I just embrace my hunger, or lack of. Each day is different.

Continuing to only get 550 calories a day may cause your body to go into starvation mode and you may not lose at all. You should try to keep that intake closer to 900 a day if you can? Of course, there are some who may lose weight this way but I don't see how you could exercise efficiently with so little energy input?
