Problem with hunger

[bitteroldhag 0]

I have had the lap band for about a year and 4 months and lost 40 pounds with no problem. I haven't lost anything in at least a year, but that's okay. But lately, I've been getting hungry. I have 4.5 cc in my band which is supposed to max out at 7.5 cc. I often throw up, but that's my fault for eating too fast or taking bites that are too big. What I'm wondering if is I should have another fill. I've done well with the 4.5 cc until recently. Is it normal for one to have to have a fill after over a year? I often have problems with my pills, some of which are big. But now, they go right through and I get hungry. Any suggestions?

If you are hungry and not losing weight then you need another fill. YOu should be losing a minimum of 1 lb per week.

Just wondering,

Have you re-evaluation the basic lap band rules? Are you eating your Protein first? Exercising? Avoiding drink with meals and up to one hour later?

I'm only guessing I'm certainly not a pro at this. Hope this helps?
