Probably not sorry to say. I have had 4 fills and am less hungry than I was after 3 fills. Try to up your Protein, keeps you full longer and drink lots of Water.< /p>

Yeah, I'm with Wildrose. I was in bandster hell for 4 months. Then I got my 4th fill and started to really feel some restriction. By my 6th fill I was in the green zone but then fell out and now I'm going back for another adjustment. It's a process and I need to stay the course and keep my eye on the prize.

at 10 days I was feeling hungry, but if I stayed on the diet (I was all liquids at the time) and now I am on mushies, and eat the Protein item at meal times and have a high Protein snack/shake between I have been able to pretty much avoid terrible hunger. Sure I get hungry, but it's not headache hunger unless I have forgotten to bring a shake with me and will be out for hours. I am almost 3 weeks post and my hunger is real but satisfied with a much smaller amount of food than before (1/2 cup of tuna vs. a giant sandwhich for lunch).

the head hunger (or desire to munch) hasn't really gone away! I don't have any fill yet, won't get that for 6 more weeks but my doc has prepared me it can take 6-9 months to get to the green zone.

I've noticed that if I start my day off with a Protein Shake I'm less hungry throughout the day than if I eat oatmeal or a scrambled egg.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
