Truthfully, you will feel hungry until you have the right amount of fills. IT took me 3 months to reach this "green zone" and to where I felt the band was doing it's part. Each fill helped a little though. Be patient and in the meantime practice eating small portions. Make sure you are getting the correct amount of Protein in each day because that helps with hunger. Also drink water-lots of it! Good luck to you!

What is listed is true. Stay foucsed on the rules, eat the right amounts on time and the hunger will get better. Lots of Water really helps.

I am not quite 2 mts out and there are times that I feel hungery too. I talked to my dr and he told me to go get a fill. You only HAVE to wait 2 weeks between fills. I had my first fill 3 1/2 weeeks ago and i get another one in a few days. Remember the rulls, drink lots of Water, and "stay out of your head". Good luck wih your journey.

I am early in the process and I just had a discussion with the surgeon about hunger and the band. He told me that I would still be hungry and that the way the band helps you is by getting us to eat at a slower pace and then having our stomachs empty slower. He also told me the vertical sleeve was a better surgery for controlling your hunger because it cuts away the part of the stomach that sends out more hunger signals. We are still having to stay vigilant over whatever we put in our mouths and that it is only a small piece of our sucess.
