Ok I had my first fill last month on the 16th then another one yesterday the 7th. I am now hungry I had a ww egg mcmuffin for breakfast for lunch a chicken breast with a half can of spinach and after my lunch my stomach was still growling. So I ate a few bites of my friends rice then later drank some water im still hungry why why why. I had 3cc's at my first fill and yesterday 1.5cc's. What are you guys eating do I need more to eat? I thought were to eat only a half cup.

It appears you do not have restriction. There is no amount that gives you restriction. I had my second fill and have 7.2 cc's in a 9 cc band and Though I am not as hungry I don't have restriction. Surprised they let you eat solid food the day after a fill but each doctor is different.

I have the Realize band and was told that most people don't reach restriction until at least 6 cc's. It sounds likely that you don't yet have restriction so it's not surprising that you're hungry.

I've never understood this whole idea of 'you only get to eat 1/2 cup even though, without restriction, you're going to be hungry' but you still have to do it and for . For those who can do it...more power to them...but I already told my doc that until I get to restriction, all bets are off. I'll try as hard as I can to stick to 1 cup but the idea is to get me to restriction before the will power caves.

Hey, if I could do this without the band, I wouldn't have spent the money and gone through surgery.

Yes the nurse told me that I may still not be full after the fill yesterday as well and that I may need to come back for more. Also I had my fill yesterday morning at 9am and had to do liquids for 24hrs so I was able to eat a late breakfast today and lunch.

Hang in there...I didn't have any 'real' restriction until my 3rd fill and am at my sweet spot after my 4th (but it takes some even more). Be patient (LOL, I wasn't either) and it will come. -BG
