Is it normal to be sooooo hungry just one day after my first fill? I have felt like I am starving all day. I've had protein shakes, soup, cottage cheese, yogurt. NOTHING is working. I am constantly hungry and the sounds my stomach is making.....my daughter keeps laughing at me because it is so LOUD.

Hate to tell you this but, yes it is normal. Welcome to bandster hell! Now is the time that you really have to work on the diet you may not feel restriction for a few fills. It took me 7 fills. Just keep your eye on the end goal and you will get through this. Good luck.

I'm curious to see the answers to this post, as I just had my first fill today and I am starving too! And my stomach is making strange, loud, growling noises too haha!

See my response above. As for the noises, they ain't going away. My band "talks" all the time, sometimes at the most inappropriate times.

I guess I almost expected to not feel that hungry right after a fill. OMG it's been horrible. Dr told me I could have things back today like cottage cheese, oatmeal, etc.....soft foods. I just had my hubby get me some oatmeal. I think this is the hungriest I have felt since getting the band.

One more thing to get used to I guess!!

My surgery is Monday, and during this pre op diet week, I found out that food is basically all in my mind. I was never someone to eat just because, but, I found myself eating when I was bored at home.

The band is our tool to our new lifestyle and to be a healthier person. You have to look back into your eating history and see if you are treading back down the same path.

I am thankful for this pre op diet, as it's opened my eyes to the real reality of what my life should be like. I don't want to look in the mirror each day and say well....it's another day of being over weight, what can I do. I want to live....I want to see my little girl graduate from college.... I want to go shopping with my friends and never feel embarrassed....I want to be able to feel confident while with my husband and around his friends.... I just was my life back and see that girl in the mirror that I use to be.

We make our own decisions in life and for once in 15 years, I am saying noooooooo to FOOD and yes to LIFE.

Lol my stomach has the growling monster in it too and I thought I was the only one that could hear it nope I was wrong! I have my first fill on Tuesday its empty now because I was having issues hoping it doesn't happen again

I had a fill Saturday and I am hungry. This is a first for me. I keep geting a mouth full of salava. I eat and burp and up comes all the spit.... I am soo uncomfortable.......Up eating soup......
