I was really hungry once I moved back to normal foods too. Not sure if it was the transition to solid food, or that some swelling had gone down, or both. The first fill helped, I noticed that I stayed full a bit longer, and filled up a but more quickly. Just got my second fill yesterday, so I'm hopeful that being full quicker/longer will be more pronounced. Try to stay motivated, I know it's hard when you want to feel the results right away, but you'll get there!
