Don't jump to conclusions. Just drink your dinner and give your tummy time to get used to this. It's OK to be hungry.

It's a process, definitely. We are all different but for me a fill usually takes a little while to settle in. Also some people never need a fill (few and far between) and others, like me, needed several. In hindsight I needed that time in-between for behavior modification. Good luck -- you are in your way! The key is listening in and noticing everything -- you are doing that.

I learned yesterday through an excellent webinar through my weight loss clinic that fills can take up to 2 weeks to "settle in". Like you, frios2014, I had my first fill recently (6 days ago) and immediately after, was ravenous and inhaled a small omelette! (I was told soft foods were fine).

The next day, the day after, I felt nothing... more hungry than normal, actually! I began to wonder whether the nurse had actually taken Fluid out??! (Even though she showed me my fill, was very professional, etc.)

Anyway. Here I am 6 days later, and I noticed something amazing. I had a single serving yoghurt with a Tbsp of bran buds mixed in (yay, Protein and fibre... following the lap band rules here...) at 10:00 am before I started teaching. The next time eating even crossed my mind was 5 hours later - !!! (I know, I know, 3-4 hours is the max we should go between meals but honestly - it didn't even occur to me to eat).

Anyway. The webinar info helped clarify this for me - fills take time to settle in. (Who knew?) Many of us get a fill and expect immediate restriction or fast weight loss (guilty as charged) but we need to CALM DOWN and just let things settle in.

Not sure if I'm in the green zone, but since my fill I'm down another 2.6 pounds, Seems to be working!
