Did the hunger just come out of nowhere for you guys or was it more gradual? I was 9/26 and my hunger has been very sensible. I declined my first full and told the doc I would be in touch. Just wonder of the hunger issue is lurking around the corner for me

Mine hit on day 10 with a vengeance. I guess that's when my swelling must have gone down. I get so hungry at times that my stomach really hurts. It is a struggle to control my portions, but I do it. I can't wait to get my first fill on 10/17, any bit hopefully will help some!

I have had my procedure in June was doing good on losing but now my weight loss has stopped actually I have gained 3 lbs back I would like suggestions on how to get the weight loss to start again if any one can help Thanks tamlb

Hi!

Oh my gosh, we are twins! I was banded the 16th as well and my first fill is 10/14. I have also just maintained 12 lbs lost. Also, I'm in the hunger boat too. Our stomachs aren't swollen anymore and I know my surgeon puts the band in empty, so since my stomach isn't pushing against the band anymore I don't feel full. Hopefully it won't take too long getting to the green zone!

Let me know how it goes for ya!

I was banded September 19th and I am not hungry too often. I add protein to whatever I can and I am trying to add to my diet and I drink all day long. I like Special K strawberry Kiwi protein water. 30 calories a 5 grams of protein. It's yummy. I've lost 13 post op and feel pleased sabots only been three weeks so 4+ pounds a week is great!

Where are you getting the Special K protein water? I used to drink it years ago and liked it but now I can't find it anywhere.
