I'm a little over 6 weeks out from surgery and I went it a little over a week ago and had a fill. But I called to get another fill cause I can't stay full! I'm always wanting to eat! I will eat what I'm suppose to eat and I'm still hungry or hungry 20-30min later. It really sucks cause I keep snaking cause I'm hungry! Sure hope this next fill does something!! Is this normal before finding the green zone?

Many if not most new banders need more than 1 or 2 fills to feel some kind of satiety. I lost 12 lbs the first 2 weeks post surgery and then nothing for the next 3.5 months and 2 fills.

What you're experiencing is what we call Bandster Hell. Seems like you're hungrier than even before surgery and you can still eat large bites and large servings. It will all pass once you get your band adjusted properly.

I got my 3rd fill about 4 months after surgery and for once I started to feel like I could eat less for longer periods of time. It took 3 more fills to finally get to the green zone. I believe my journey is typical for many banders.

I tried very hard to eat healthy those first 4 months and even now. One more thing, I had a consult with my nutritionist at my 4 month dr visit and she steered me to foods that helped with satiety and also helped me eliminate about 300 unnecessary calories. Hang in there and keep going in for those adjustments.
