Hungry And Needs 1st Lap Band Fill

[banded at last 3]

I was banded on October 3rd. As of today I have lost 40 pounds. I could not be happier. Well that was up till two days ago. I did great for Thanksgiving, I was not hungry and passed up pies. I had my 20 year HS reunion on Sat. night and did not eat all day, had 3 drinks and came home to eat crackers and cheese. Sunday I was a bit more hungry but did great and today Monday I am so hungry, ate more than I should have and more than I have since surgery. I have gone to the gym everyday, Wed, Fri, Sat and Sunday. I was supose to get my fill the day before Thanksgiving but said I would not be able to eat. Is my boday just saying I am ready for a fill. I do not want to be hungry like this anymore, I liked it before when I could only eat a very little. Help, has anyone else been in this situation? Thanks for your help... Krisy

I was banded on 10/26 and my hunger is back. Back to eating as much as before being banded, but still losing just not a lot! My next appointment is next week and am hoping for my first fill. But since I'm still losing I'm not sure he will give it me!

I was banded on 11/4/11 and loved the first week because I lost 10lbs and wasn't hungry at a. After those 5 days the weightless stopped and the hunger kicked in!!!!!! I told my surgeon I needed a fill but his office messed up because I was scheduled today but when I Coles to let them know I'd b 10mins late the doctor said "sorry too bad come back another day. (there was more to it)

Anyway, I'm zoo disappointed because I can eat same amount as I did before getting banded. I spent all my savings for this "tool" and I'm praying this fill makes it work. All of what your feeling is close if nt ESA Ty what I feel. Hang in there & so will I.

OMG I can't imagine

Follow up on my 1st. Fill. I went into today and met with Dr and nutrionest. They said it is completly normal not to have any restriction at this point and to be hungry. I was ready for a fill for sure. I had the fill and I will be on liquids for 3 days so that is stage 3 and then right to stage 4 mushies for 3 days. Then I start stage 5 which is for life. I can feel the restriction already with the liquid so I am happy. They do not want to see me back for 4 months but gave me a 2 month apt just in case I need a fill. They said anytime I am feeling hungry or not feeling right to call they would get me right in. I hope you all have success with your fills and good luck on this journey... Krisy
