Best I can tell is its when you can go approx 4 hours between meals before getting hungry and reaching satisfaction with less food. I havent got there yet and have only had one fill. Hopefully, I will know this personally one day. :D

Some say hunger is taken care of only between meals...The chart says "Not Hungry"....I am one that is never hungry, 24 hours a day...the band is there all the time, so why should the benefits not be there all the time .....never understood how the band can work just some of the time....but that's me, not everybody....

Also, I get automatic portion control...there is just so much I can eat, making it IMPOSSIBLE to overeat.....so things like buffets, parties, big holiday dinners, etc....don't concern me the slightest.....either does head hunger....

With all that I have had good steady weight loss, untill there was nothing left to loose (fat). And all that equals "Patient Satisfaction", YOU BET!!!!

EASIEST thing I have ever done...nothing compared to the struggles of dieting.....

I am due to have my 1st fill 9-2 and I'm sure it will work for me as I eat(drink) my liquids 3x a day and drink Water and ice tea inbetween. Usually feel full after that. I'm not losing weight but after the fill I think I wll. I do take meds that are weight gainers so I might have to try harder. But not worried as long as I have a steady loss evenb1 to 2 lbs every other week and not gaining. I just want to be in the green zone. I took 3 bites of watermelon yesterday I thought I chewed thoroughly but within seconds I knew I hadn't, it came up and I felt much better and 10 min later had a fruit smoothy with vanulla Protein powder and it was great. No after effects.

      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.
