I'm SO glad I came across this post! I had surgery on June 1 and am due for my first fill on July 7. I can't believe how hungry I feel! Sometimes I just cry because I feel like I'm dieting on my own and could have done that without the painful surgery! I have purposely tried to eat well over the recommended amount of food my dr. suggests to see if I get full or want to vomit and nope, nothing. I'm wondering is the band even on because it does not seem to be helping?! I started drinking a protein shake once a day and that seems to help alot. I guess we all have to be patient. It took a long time to pack on all the weight so it is going to take some time to take it off.
