Holly Dolly 575 Posted March 24, 2012 I am so looking for that hunger control! I am filled at 6.85 in my 10 band and my PA thinks I am at the high end of fills. I had an upper GI done this past week and have another appt set for 3 weeks from now. The dr said I can get another fill, but have to wait since my last one was 2 weeks ago. I still get hungry within 2 or 2.5 hours. This morning I had 1 whole egg, 2 egg whites, 1/4 ounce chedder cheese and half an english muffin. I would think that this amount of food should hold me over 4 hours. My stomach will growl loudly by 2.5 hours later. I have had a total of 11 fills and 2 slight unfills. I am 13 months out and down 84 pounds which I am very happy with. I guess I am just tired of dealing with hunger and the stomach growls because for my whole life I had never let myself get to this point. I read your blog and it gives me hope that I will reach a good spot. I see you have more in your band than I do.I know that everyone is different and I think I may be the person who needs more too. Sometimes it just frustrates me that the PA thinks that I don't need any more fills. This next visit I am seeing the dr! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I love lucy lover 61 Posted March 24, 2012 Well first off congrats on the weight loss, Im not there yet but trying. I too have a 10cc band and am at 6 right now. Im going for another fill too due to the same problem, hunger pains. I thought I was in the green zone but lately have been getting hungry more often. I was told to eat more Protein, but that didnt seem to help either. Let me know what your dr says Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Holly Dolly 575 Posted March 24, 2012 I eat plenty of Protein too, so what the heck? There was one day I truely thought I was finally in the greenzone. Had my usualy Breakfast and wasn't even hungry until lunch. I was so happy! Had some Tomato Soup for lunch and it started going down slow. That's when I knew something wasn't right. I was driving home from work and had to spit up a couple of times. I made a beeline for the dr's office and had the .4 removed that was put in the week before. I know it was my fault for pushing the limits on what I eat after a fill. I usually stick to Soup for lunch only and dinner eat what I would normally eat. The past 2 fills I had 2 day of liquid followed by a 3rd day of soft foods and I haven't had anything get stuck since then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

highland 168 Posted March 25, 2012 I have 7.6cc in my 10cc band. I NEVER feel hungry! It's strange really. My blood sugar drops after about 6 or 7 hours so I eat. By the way, I've never been told I'm at the High end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Holly Dolly 575 Posted March 25, 2012 I don't know why my girl is so conservative then! I see a lot of people on here with more than 7.5 in there band. I shall see what happens on my next visit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
