I was just like you. I had actually lost about 15 lbs in the first 2 weeks on the liquid diet. As soon as I started getting food into my system, I slowly gained weight back. Its been 6 weeks since my surgery and I just got my first fill yesterday. I was so excited just so that I would stop being so hungry all the time. My doc let me know that my band was empty and thats why I was so hungry. Well, that makes sense!
