      I have only had one fill since my lap band surgery 1/16/14 (fill was on 2/27/14) but I feel alittle hungerer than I did right after surgery. folks on here say that is normal...so as far as having 7 cc's in and not losing or gaining...maybe look at what you are eating...I know I have been bad a couple of times and the scale didn't go up or down. but I'm sure this is normal...if you are really upset maybe calling the doctors office and speak to one of the nurses or the nutritionalist to get some suggestions. will be thinking of you dearheart!!!

      Yes my dear..to early. Here's why. Just because you cant visually see what happened to your inners, doesn't mean its ok..your body needs time adjust to what happen to it. These rules are in place to protect you. I can't stress enough..FOLLOW THE RULES..it is imperative. Your feeling good just means you may have a good healing period, don't push it.

      Your hungry because you are exerting to much energy. Drink water, your prob more thirsty. You will be able to tell the dif the further you get out. Try liquid before you try food. takes a while for the brain to connect with your stomach. Food is old habit, when you get that feeling in your stomach, this new pouch is thirst not hungry, but it a baby and doesn't know how to ask for water yet. so try water first.
