Question about hunger pains after banding

After 3 fills I finally feel restriction although I am VERY hungry. My question is this, when you have a band and your stomach growls is it suposed to be a more pronounced experience. I mean I feel like my stomach is turning! Just wanted to know if this is unusual.

hi imb316

what are you eating? keeping the Protein up (keeps you fuller longer). the movement / sounds may just be digestion. if you are really feeling hunger pains, try upping your protein even more, but take small bites and chew.

good luck

Mine does it too. I now have these super big, washing machine churning, kind of growls.

Mine is the same way!!! It growls and I think everyone can hear! That's when I usually just drink a big glass of water and it quiets down.

I thought that because it would slip into the rest of the stomach, drinking water wouldn't give the feeling of fullness? (Read it somewhere on the site):confused2:
