Life before fills!!!!

[Band-aided 0]

I'm 5 weeks post op, my Dortor will not fill before 6 weeks. I'm on solids but am starving hungry. They say to eat a cup full or so of food per meal, are they insane! I can more or less eat a regular meal, not as much as I could before granted but I can eat! Is this normal to be able to eat so much. I lost a ton of weight pre and post op and guess what it's all starting to come back on.

I feel the same way! It is sooo hard to not eat like normal. I can't wait to get my first fill!

You are in Bandster Hell....and it's called that for a reason! Since the swelling has now gone down but the band hasn't been filled, you are "wide open"....meaning it's just as if you were never banded. Getting going with the fills will change all of that soon enough!! In the meantime, just try your best to make good food choices and keep practicing the eating guidelines....you will be making good use of them after your fill!
