1st fill was a week ago. I feel more hungry now than I did before the fill. My scale is now also moving up a bit. This is so frustrating. I go back a week from today for #2.

Welcome to lapband hell! Your body has healed and you are hungry again, it happened to me. I am still not in the green zone so I have to watch myself carefully not to over do it. Compared to some I haven't lost much, but I feel better and I think 34 lbs in 3 months is pretty good.

Try, Try, Try to limit your self. Drink, Drink, Drink to help with the hunger. Sometimes when think I am really hungry I will sit down with a cup of cold green tea (crystal light) drink it and it will help curb the hunger until it's time for me to eat again.

This is not an easy time in your journey, and no one can tell you how long it will last because every one is different. Just take it one hour at a time and stick to the basics and you will make it.
