So I came across the term "Banster hell" in the chat room a few weeks ago.... I now know what it means.

I am now 4 weeks post-op and I spend half the day feeling hungry. NOT GOOD!:thumbup:

I try to drink as much water as I can between meals but especially while I'm at work I want food all the time!

For example today for lunch I has 1 small grilled chicken cutlet with a little bit of wild rice and wax beans. very filling lunch it was about 6 or so ounces. I ate that at 12:30, it is now 3:30 and I drank 16 oz of water in between lunch and now and now im getting hunger pains. I been feeling slightly hungry since 1:30-ish.

-WELCOME TO BANSTER HELL! mwwwaahhhhh:devil_smile:

Going for my first fill on Septemeber 18th. I hope this helps me for a while... Fills are $180.00 bucks where I go.

Well since I'm at work I should probably go and work! since the day is almost over!

Much love to my banded buddies and my soon to be banded budz!

Is this your first fill? I heard it takes anywhere from 0 fills for the new band to 7 fills.. see how u feel after the last one I also was told that depends on ur activity level that you could have a small snack.. not that snacking is okay.. but if your stomach is screaming at u, common sense would think u should have a small healthy snack, maybe a lite protien shake.. just to take the edge off.. talk to ur dr.!
