I am 1 week today post op from my surgery, and I have the hugest cravings and I am now getting more hungry. Has anyone else felt this way?

I'm two weeks out and feel the same way!!they say you will fill this way till your first fill..I'm just sticking it out!lol good luck!!

Yes, it very normal but extremely frustrating. Many refer to it as "bandster hell" between surgery and when you finally have adequate Fluid in the band. You're expected to eat like a banded person yet you don't have the benefits of the band yet. You're stuck working off will power alone and it's tough.

Rest assured, it does get easier. It takes most people multiple fills before they have adequate fluid in their band but once you do you'll find you can go 4 or more hours on a small meal without hunger.

Hang in there

And really work on getting your liquids in, like water, because this will help a little.
