Buckle up ...it's going to be a lonng ride!

This is normal. Your band empty and your body is healing. It's true what they say-the first 6 weeks is all about healing.

It might take a couple of fills before your band is truely working for you...welcome to what we call "Bandster Hell."

Try to drink your shakes and really make sure they are high in Protein becuase it's helps a ot with hunger. When I have a shake (25grams of protein) it fill me up for 4 hours. Eat a little snack in between (like SF applesauce). Good luck-hang in there!

I am 1 week post-op and now that the gas pains are gone, I cannot stop being hungry. It is so bad others can hear my stomach. I am doing what I was told with the Protein shakes and still I am not getting more then 30 minutes of relief after I eat. Any ideas?
