I have had my band for a week and feel like I could eat everything!!i am so hungry!!!is this normal??

Yes, because your band is likely empty or nearly empty. It takes most people multiple fills before the band starts helping appease your appetite.

I am right there with ya. One week post op and I'm starving too but it's usually at nite. I keep dreaming of eating food and wake up in a panic because I think I really cheated for a minute lol. Can't believe I haven't eaten in 3 weeks but honestly it's not as bad as I thought it would be. We got this one more week till mushies!

I have had my band the 12th and I am doing great!! not hungry much and today I ate my first overeasy egg ! yummmy be sure you are drinking your protein with milk and that will keep you full for a few hours. and then drink lots of water all day long . good luck this tool will help us all

Totally normal. For the first 5 months following surgery, I was starving all the time. Ate pretty much like I did preband. Till my 3rd fill. Then the magic started. I felt full on a toddlers serving. Worked. Lost over 100 lbs in the last almost 3 yrs (actually in 2 yrs, kept it off for a year now).

When you start getting fills, you'll notice a difference. Need to be patient until then. You can either be good, diet, count calories, or do what I did - just wait for restriction. I was tired of dieting and counting stuff. Don't do that anymore. Pretty much eat what I want - just MUCH less of it.

Good luck!
