First fill question

I have my first appt since my surgery coming up and was wondering if anyone got a fill at their first post op appt ? I have 0 restriction and could eat a horse at this point, I'm starving and feeling pretty discouraged that the band may not work for me. I know it's just an aide for my weight loss but I was at least hoping that I wouldn't feel so hungry.

    Once you receive a few fills, the physical hunger (bandster hell) will get better. Please know that sometimes it takes several fills to really feel a difference. Hang in there!

I was banded 3/8/13 and first fill 4/10/13, a total of 5.5 in my 10 cc band. If I didn't have scars, I'd swear I didn't have a band! I am sooooo hungry, physically and in my head. I want to eat. I can physically eat anything I want, and as much of it as I want. So I definitely understand where you're coming from. Try and not compare yourself.. This is your journey.. Not anyone else's. just be patient. Be true to yourself. Eat your allotted calories, move your body, eat slowly and stop at the recommended portion size. And you will see results. I promise. And one day hopefully we too will find the "sweet spot"
