Oh man... I feel your pain. I'm SOOO hungry and am not receiving my first fill until 12/17 :-/ I've just been trying to stick with a high Protein low carb diet.

I've read on other boards that during this time, surgeons are prescribing a low does of adipex, which is an appetite suppressant. I have a follow up tomorrow and think I'm going to ask about it.

Yes!! I'm taking half of a 37.5 mg tablet, and depending how I do, will increase to the whole pull within the next week. It has helped SO MUCH!!! I actually lost weight over thanksgiving!! I highly recommend asking if your doctor would be ok with this approach

Great I think I will tomorrow im gaining and still starving protein is helping but not much..im working fifty hours a week dk why im even hungry..lol

I am starting to feel much more hungry than the last 4 weeks. Was banded 11/4. Going for first fill 12/3. Hoping for some relief

Oh no! How long do you have to wait for a fill?

I'm so sorry to hear that... well, I guess the infection is indicative of how crappy you've been feeling :( Hope everything improves for you and you don't have to have the port replaced.

Sending well wishes your way!!! :)
