First fill and Im starving

[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????

I'm in the same boat with ya!....well sort of. I just had my first fill today, about 2 hrs ago. I went in starving, and came out starving. I got no advice on what to eat or not eat before getting a fill. I found some advice on this site. So I ate a light dinner (chicken salad sanwich) and didnt have anything else for at least 12 hrs before my fill. I drank only a little room temp Water this morning...I have hunger pains but so sick of Protein drinks that I'm just taking a couple bites of greek yogurt. My doc was VERY vague....in everything! I had to ask how much he was putting in, then how much he took out. He then said to just do Protein Drinks for the next "few days" I'm sorry, but I need an EXACT amount of days, that is just me. I need to know EVERY detail.

So anyways, cant wait to see some replys to your post because I'm anxious to find out

Your going to be hungry because you are on liquids I dont know anytime that I was on liquids I was not hungry. Wait until you are back to regular food before you jump the gun so to speak. Liquids are not filling thats why no one could stay on a liquid diet forever. I cant say the hunger will ever stop because that is an ify question. I still get hungry and I am tight at only 3 cc's in my band. I dont want anymore fills because it is miserable to eat now. I still get hungry but I can eat and be satisfied for a few hours. I have become serverely hypoglycemic since the band with a blood sugar of 41 after a meal so I have to eat frequently. I can not say that your hunger will ever stop or that it wont because there are some that it does help and some it doesnt you just have to wait it out and see whats going to work for you.
