Confused

[JHoldbrooks 1]

I had my surgery Aug. 23. Is the band loose and not filled at all? I am confused if I am suppose to be normal hungry or not. Help!

That was how it was for me.. my Dr did not fill it during surgery.. and had to wait 6 weeks for my first fill... due to healing..

I did not get my first band fill for about 4 weeks.

Mine has 5.6cc put in during surgery

you need to heal before the weight loss work begins...if thought this was going to be a quick fix you'll be disappointed just follow the plan as you doctor set out and yes you will be hungry until you start to get some fills in 4-6 weeks...keep drink and get that protient in and all the Water that will help but you haven't really started the program work as yet.

I tend to forget to eat! Like today I totally forgot to have lunch, just wasn't hungry. Now I'm trying to get all my Protein in, thus a 30 gram Protein Drink for me! But I only got 800 calories in. I need to stay more aware of eating.

YES!!!!! I have to remind myself to eat all the time...and if I am busy I will forget all together...I have gone 24 hrs without a decent meal...especially with a busy day at work, where I won't get home till late...and I have a rule never to eat after a certain hour so I just skip it....

I am never hungry and do not have an interest in eating....for me, that's aall part of the Green Zone....

If you are feeling normal hunger your band is likely empty. I had 5cc put in at surgery and wasn't that hungry at all after surgery. I think my first fill was around 4 months. Each surgeon is different. Do your best to stay in your calories and have faith in the fill process. You will get there.
