[Lady Lap Band 71]

Ok I am so hungry this week I could eat my arm, it is 6:00pm right now and I have already had 1000 calories and I am so HUNGRY! I hate this! I called my docs office today and moved my fill to next Wednesday 9/2 (it was 9/9). I just could not wait. So this 3rd fill will be 2 1/2 weeks after my 2nd fill. The scale has not budged from 230lbs and I am dying to see 225lbs but with this hunger I might not ever get there! It's weird....my fills seem to be great the week after I get them, and then week 2 I seem to be getting more hungry eat time! BLAH I am hungry lol. Someone tell me they have had something similar happen to them!!!!!!!!!????????????? :thumbdown:

I am not going to say eventually I won't feel like you do but I haven't yet. I have no fills so maybe that plays into it. How much Protein are you getting a day? I usually get at least 100 grams a day on average sometimes more. I also eat between 1200-1500 calories a day. When I started I was only 2 lbs less at 250 lbs. so our calorie intake should be about the same. If you are only getting 100 calories in a day it is possible your body is in starvation mode. And I would suggest going back to shakes if that worked for you. I still have at least a shake a day mainly to get my protein in. It will all work out don't stress and get more calories than just 1000 a day.

I felt the same way 2 weeks ago. It was a week prior to my period and all I wanted to do was eat.

Here I am two weeks later, I have not had a fill since July 10th and I am so tight that I am full after just a few bites.

This band is a much more complicated device then I ever imagined it would be. I haven't lost any weight in almost 3 weeks.

I have days where I am hungry, but I am usually able to work throught them. I only had one fill so far, 3cc's in a 10 cc band, my next fill is scheduled for 9/14/09. Right now my meals are 1/2 cup portions with two 2 oz Snacks a day if I need them, and I average between 715 and 800 calories a day. I average about 65 gr of Protein a day.

I found that a warm cup of broth or herbal tea seems to help the hunger, and I try to distract myself.

Hang in there!!
