Big Momma is Shrinking

I asked my girlfriend that had the band in 2007 why I feel hungry and she says that the Dr doesn't fill the band when she puts it in. The first fill I get is 6 weeks post op and the reason they have you on such a strict diet those first weeks post op is so you begin retraining yourself and to avoid you eating something you shouldn't which can stretch the band and or cause it to slip which I heard is painful. She says once you get your fill your hunger pangs go away and you literally feel full after just a few spoons.
