I just had my first fill last Thursday. I did my liquid for 2 day's then pureed for 2 days (did not cheat cause I am scarred to death my band will slip) just started solid food today. My question is I am so hungry today. I ate about 1/4 of a Breakfast burrito this morning but felt like I could have eaten the whole thing. I just want food. I am PMS'ing so thought maybe that is it but shouldn't I be eating less and filling full sooner then before the fill. What is going on? I have lost 31lbs since being banded on 8/18/08 and was doing great until today. Has anyone else felt hungry after fill or is it just PMS? I could eat all day long if I allowed myself to today but so far the will power is working and the scare factor of not wanting to hurt myself.

Um I have felt hungry the enitre process and it has shown I have not lost any weight! I have had 3 fills and nada!! I am getting frustrated I am proud of you for not eating the rest of the burrito I could have NOT done it, I am really depending upon my band to start to kick in and help just a tiny bit! I am hoping fill 4-5 will do just that!! Stay focused and you will be fine,. but hunger well that's the devil sittin on your shoulder just slap him off!!!!

I had my first fill last Monday and was on liquids for the whole day then mushies the next and finally on the third was told I could eat regular. I felt like I was starving and yes I could have ate more than I should. I don't know if it was the sudden change to liquids and mushies again or what. It has since been better but I don't really have any restriction as of yet, so hopefully the next fill will be better.

I had my first fill 2 weeks ago and I am always hungry myself and even more frustrating than that I am not losing weight. I workout 5 times a week and I am eating 2 x a day in addition to drinking my 2 protein drinks. My portions are about a cup and I am still not losing weight. I do have PCOS so I don't know what to do to about this. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I had the same thing happen after my first fill. I thought it was very weird and I kept telling people it was almost like it had the opposite effect from what it was supposed to do. I finally (after gaining 5 pounds) called the doctor for another fill. This one seems to be doing the trick. I lost the 5 I gained and am back to dropping again. I could not feel any restriction with the last fill. This time I do, so that's good. You may have to call at some point for another fill. Good luck to you all.
