Well, after my fill on Monday, I was cautiously hopeful..but it appears I will be in bandster hell a bit longer. I'm still hungry while following the Bandster rules. Rethink that...REALLY HUNGRY. Not head hunger either...my tummy was rumbling. AND I got my protein in first, drank my water between meals, and was meticulous about keeping to all the suggestions my nutritionist gave for abating hunger. SO...what did I do? Well of course, my son had graciously made chocolate chip cookies, and after about SIX of those...the hunger abated. Now, I probably could have gotten full on tuna salad or other healthy choices...but NO...my ninny ass had to have the cookies.

Today is a new day, and the cookies should be gone by the time I get home from work. If I must have a snack, it will be a greek yogurt!

Live Wild,

Laura

I feel the same too. I felt no restriction after my first fill. Now Im on my second fill and I feel a little bit. I still pretty much eat whatever I want... just slightly less. I still feel like Im just "dieting" as opposed to the band creating a sense of fullness. Im trusting this process. Doc says that after the 3rd fill I should be in a good place. As of now, 2 plus months after surgery I have only lost 2 pounds. I knew it would be slow.... but my goodness!
