I had my surgery on January 4th. I was given 1cc at the time of surgery and pretty much feel back to my old self as far as being sore and getting around.

My appetite is back and it's frustrating! I know it takes time to get to the "sweet spot" but it's just frustrating because no matter how much protein I eat, an hour or two later I'm hungry again. Like I said I know it's early in this process but I'm getting discouraged. Just needed some tips, encouragement or a good kick in the ass!

To get me through those times I tried to keep myself very busy. All my drawers are cleaned out, closets clean, laundry room repainted etc...

I would also fill in the in between meals with sf hot chocolate, decaf tea and lots and lots of water.

Good luck!

Hello i am post op dec 18. You are not alone because my friend and i are going through the same thing. I guess it part of the process because i stay hungry and i follow the rules. I had a small fill during surgery but i feel like i do not have a band but it is there. Hang in there it will get better. I go for a fill jan 30 and i cannot wait to see my dr to let him know. We have come to far to turn back now. I eat what i am suppose to i have no problem getting in my proteins. That is why i stop the shakes cause i would be so hungry. I rather have the food. Hopefully it will get better.
