Welcome to bandster hell!! You are losing the restriction you got from the initial surgery as you heal! It is hard, I know but you are likely to be this way until you move onto the next stage of foods and then you'll most likely get hungry on that too as your stomach heals further. Until we reach the sweet spot you are bound to go through this again. I don't want to discourage you but you need to know the realism of this band. My doc tells me they don't expect much out of you weight loss wise when you have no restriction and not to beat yourself up, make good food choices but don't stress yourself out over it.

As for feeling hungry, you may need to drink more or drink things with protein in them, they make you feel fuller for longer! And keep busy, go for walks, watch TV, do things to get your mind off it!

And worst case if you are really struggling, call your doc!
