So, I've been doing well since I had surgery on the 21st of December. I've lost 33lbs so far. This week I have really been hungry! I don't know if its stress from work or if I'm really hungry, but I think it's stress. Is it normal to get hungry again a few weeks out? Will the fill help? I don't get it until Feb 4th. I'm worried!

Bandster hell. Very normal. For now this is a will power diet. Buy a food scale and start weighing your protein, then low cal/fat veggies until satisfied.

Yes, perfectly normal. You have healed from the surgery and although the band is in place, it hasn't been adjusted yet so it cannot start to work for you. As Honk says, at the moment this is entirely in your hands.

it is also normal for people to gain some weight in this period but it doesn't have to happen. You can harness the excitement and motivation of your surgery journey for a bit longer to stay on track, follow the band rules and continue to lose weight while you are getting fills and moving towards that elusive green zone.

Best of luck.

Thanks so much guys! I'll just have to wade through it.
