Had my first fill

[sandiburn 23]

So I had my first fill Tuesday morning and ever since I have been starving. I have 2.8cc in my band. I am on liquids for 5 days. It has not been easy. I have however lost 3 more lbs. Here is my question. Will I be this hungry each time they do a fill. Im sure at some point I will hit the Green Zone and I know that no one knows when that will be. I guess I expected to not be hungry because I have more restriction and it was just the opposite. Any sugestions????

Wow... 5 days on liquids. I only have to do 24 hrs. I'm guessing that is why you are so hungry. The liquid goes right through your band so you never really get "full". It should get better when you are back on solid food. Good Luck!

K. So I cheated for lunch and had 3/4 cup cottage cheese and a Fiber One Key lime 50 cal yougrt (which are amazing ). I have to work tonight and I can not be hungery. Think it will hurt me that I moved to a mushie at day 3 instead of waiting the 5 days?

I'm sure it will be fine. Most doctors only do 24 hours of liquids and then mushy food. Personally, my doctor does 24 hrs clear liquid, 2 days liquid, and then soft food and regular food as tolerated. Yogurt and cottage cheese will be fine, especially if you had no problems with it. Good luck!

I am NOT telling you to ignore your doctor's advice. I will tell you my doctor only requires 24 hours full liquid and 24 hours mushies after a fill.

I can say that I had no problems with it. I did stay full longer. I ate at 1ish and did not get hungery till about 6. Much better. I was getting hungery every 2 hrs or so on liquids. I will keep to liquids as much as I can. I only have tomorrow to go.

It is because liquids go straight through, and really if it's clear there isn't much Protein (IMO). I have 24 hrs. of liquids and your doc might change it for your next fill since this was your first.
