5 weeks post op and I have a question...

Hi all. I am 5 weeks post op, and have done pretty well up to now..... I am scheduled for my first fill on 6/30 ...... any ways I have noticed that I am getting hungry faster (real hunger.... not head hunger), and and needing more to fill me up over the last few days (I am back on solids) .... is this normal?:ohmy:

this is very normal, i was banded on april 16th and this happened to me too... it will be better after the fill. :ohmy:

I was May 22--and am noticing the same thing. My fill isn't until mid-July, so a little worried about hunger... but am going to do my best

lol I am down 30 since february (My first consult) and 15 since surgery.... but I cant fix mine either ....

I was banded on May 20th and noticing some changes. I've had a lot of stress the past 3 weeks and was putting the blame on that.

Tomorrow is a new day and I'm going to be working out every day on my lunch break- hopefully this will eat away those extra calories I've consumed.

Also, I was thinking about committing 1 day a week to just liquids... has anyone else tried this? Is this ok to do?

On to the ticker problem... Click on your ticker- the website will pop up!

Click on Edit/Update Ticker... fill in your new info and then click next.

The new info should automatically be updated on your ticker, no need to repost to your signature.

I was banded May 19 and I am so hungry and can drink and eat just like before the surgery. I am taking it one day at a time but I am hoping so the fill will help .. It helps to know others are feeling the same way .. I am eating 1/2 cup of food every two to three hours and trust me I don't let more than 3 ours go by.. I will be thinking of you all and keep posting to let me know how the fills do and if they help...

:ohmy:
