Starving... After 2 Fills... Need Some Help...

[petiteflower70 5]

Ok, everyone. I need some help. I dont know what is going on with my body and I am just PRAYING that i am not the only one going thru this and someone can help me.

I have to start at the beginning, so here goes: I had my surgery on 12-28-2011. No problems. It went beautifully. no nausea, no vomiting, i mean nothing. I was never hungry. I have lost 50 pounds since then, which is incredible and I am very happy about that.

So, i went in for a fill(my first fill) in April. And wouldnt you know it, the port was flipped! So, i had surgery the next week and they fixed me up. Again not one problem. NOthing. NO hunger, just continued with my 4 ounces of Protein and 1/2 cup veggies like I had been doing. So, on May 22, 2012, i had my first fill. I got 3 ccs in my 10cc band. And was fine. I was only able to eat 2 ounces the first 2 days, and then after that, could fit 4 ounces in there and 1/2 cup veggies, like normal. so, i went for a second fill on June 19, 2012. She gave me 1 cc, so I am up to 4.5 ccs in there.

I was fine for 3 days, then on Friday, it was like someone pulled the rug from under me. I am STARVING!!! like the painful kind of hunger that radiates thru my back and i am never satisifed! the first 3 days, i ate my 2 ounces,and was fine, but then on Friday i was hungry so, i ate 3 ounces of protein. But, nothing. At first, i felt full after about 3 ounces but then was hungry like an hour later. and then today. OmG! I ate 2 boiled eggs and thought I was gonna die til lunch time. I am having tuna for lunch, and am almost eating the whole 4 ounces and my stomach feels like i havent eaten in a week! I dont know what to do. I am miserable.

Am i too full? Did my band break and now it is empty?

Help!!!

Unfortunately there is no way we can even make an educated guess on that. If you're worried, I would suggest calling your surgeon to make an appointment to have it checked.

Good luck

Dont have an answer for you. I can say that my doctor says 3 oz of solid Protein (weighed not measured in a cup). The tuna is it a tuna steak or canned tuna? Canned tuna would be a mushie and mushies won't keep you as full as solids.

Well I'm at 6 cc's and I have some of the same problems. Just wait until you get more cc's in the band. You'll be fine. Great weight lost though.
