:sad:Hey everyone!

new to this site but am really struggling. i was banded april 1 2009. i have lost 33 lbs but am very hungry. i got first fill may 7. ( 1 cc ) I am havinh a hard time not snacking in between meals and eating too much at mealtime. I get another fill june 4( 1 more cc) I am hoping it helps. Any advice greatly appreciated!!

I would start journeling our food, it helps make you more accountable in what your eating. Your fill is right around the corner, so for now make sure if you are snacking its healthy and has protein. Try getting in some more protein that will help you stay full for longer. I hope that helps a little. Good luck.

Maybe ask if you can have more of a fill?

Your doctor seems much more conservative than mine.

Good Luck!

I am on about the same timeline as you. feeling hungry a lot, and not loosing near the weight i thought i would. I am down 33 lbs, but most of that from the pre and post op liquid diets.

I am thinking of joining weight-watchers to get my food groups/mixes better.. Any comments on this ?

tks

Wow, you have done just great, even with your snacking... I understand the hungry feeling, I was the same way when I was first done. Eventually your stomach will get used to not eating as much and you won't always feel hungry. More Protein is a good idea, and also keeping track of what you eat is another.

Tell your doc what's going on and ask about a larger fill this time, but don't go too tight.

I noticed your live in Texas, me too. I'm in Beeville, where are you at?

Good luck, Joanie :cool:)

Thanks everyone. I think i will ask for a little more of a fill. dr. is very conservative!! so he might not. either way i will just keep on one day at a time. i am in Dekalb, tx.
