Anyone with a 14 cc band?

[DeeW99 7]

Does anyone have the 14 cc band? I am 3 weeks post op, no Fluid in the band, and feeling hungry most of the time. I was wondering if anyone else experienced that? I am not yet scheduled for a fill. I try to stay to a cup of food and eat what they recommend with the Protein, etc, but I end up feeling hungry an hour later. I then have a fruit, later more Water and then a little later maybe something else like a fat free pudding. Is it possible to stretch my stomach above the band even though I don't feel any different?

I have a 14cc band. Sounds like you may be in "bandster hell" right now. Are you planning on getting a fill?

Apparently I have to go for a week or more eating normal foods. I just finished last week having soft foods. Then I will look into it. I just don't know if it's head hunger or if I am really hungry. I 'feel' hungry but I am trying to learn if it's real hunger or not. I made the mistake of eating some mangos which were a little tough and about and a few hours later my stomach felt a bit crampy. Not sure what that was about. Wasn't sure if it was the fruit sitting above the band or just arguing with my stomach. With that thought in my head I was wondering if I 'don't need' a fill???? Confusing.

Yes, you are in "bandster hell" as posted above

This journey has been TOO long for me . . . hoping to graduate to purgatory eventually.

Frustrated that my doctor refuses to use fluro fill

Good Luck on your journey
