:confused:I feel like Ive failed already .,..my ugly green monster is coming back (hunger) I havent had a fill yet and God knows Im ready Im eating like I did before the surgery...I guess 1 GOOD thing I am sticking with is walking every day for at least 30 mins I walk 1 1/2 miles in 30mins so thats pretty good but this eating thing hasnt changed..Can anyone tell me if this my hunger will stop after this my fill ? Should things change? please say yes ! What should I expect after the fill ?

I hand my first fill 4 week 's post and only began to feel hungry towards week 4. Do you thnk you are confusing your mental hunger with physical hunger cos that is a big battle to fight. Al so there was no way i could eat like i did before it just wouldn't go down and if it did i reckon it would of come straight back.

good luck with it

Cheers Chooky

You have NOT failed. We don't fail, we just adjust, own it, learn from our mistake (if there is one) and move on.

Yes, Yes; it could be more of the mental then the physical. You are not used to your new tool and the change in eatting habbits.

Keep logging your food and times. This will help you understand when your hunger cycle is (my worst part of the day is between 3-5 cause it's the busiest time for my family, we're winding down from the day and they demand more of me) and a snack could be the trick to get you by till your next meal.

Do you bring a tote or cooler w/you where ever you go filled w/food or drinks you can have at a moments notice? Or do you have that quick grab and go food at home when the feeling comes on? Think of those if you haven't already.

Having 4 kids, they have a lot--I mean a lot of the wrong kinds of "grab and go" food. I've placed theirs at the other end of the kitchen so mine is the easiest to get to, even in the fridge too.

Fills: they (my doctor did) usually like to go slow at first so you my not fill a big difference but there will be a difference on how much you can eat. By logging your food and making comments will make you more aware of the differences.

You sound exactly like me. Its a tough road I won't lie to you. Keep up the exercise. That was my downfall. I'm on track now and slowly getting the lbs. off. You are welcome to email me at bmcneely@consultant.com if you need anything.
