I was banded on 11/8 and had my first fill on 12/5-(3cm). AFter my fill, I now feel like I can eat more than I did before the fill. I am due for my next fill on 1/28, if I think I need it. I actually feel physical hunger more (stomach growling at me etc). I was told after the first fill to start to increase my Protein to 60-70 grams per day and I have no problem eating more at each sitting.

Is this normal???

It is normal. Once the swelling subsides in your band area you will be more open. Sometimes it takes 6 or more fills to find the green zone. You're in bandster hell till you find some restriction with a fill. Good luck.

TMF is right. It's all up to you now. Really work at eating like a bandster and fill in the hunger times with fluid, water, hot tea, sf hot chocolate(my fave).

Getting my second fill tomorrow, wish me restriction luck.lol

Hang in there, you can do it!
