Finally have restriction, but get hungry soon after eating

[widget 0]

I finally have restriction after my third fill, but I get hungry again soon after eating (normally within 1.5 to 2.5 hours). I am eating between 3/4 and 1 cup of food at meals and am full after eating. I'm not eating slider foods and am not drinking anything until at least an hour after eating. But regardless of what I eat, I am always hungry within a couple of hours. Is this normal? It is starting to drive me crazy, because I feel like I need to eat all the time.

It sounds like you are still not at the best restriction yet. I felt the same way early on. Just keep getting you're scheduled fills until you are satisfied with 1/2 - 1cup food AND are not hungry for 3-4 hrs. It happens so gradually. I have a 14cc band and have 11.6cc's. It was only with this last fill of 2cc's that I finally think I found my sweet spot. Not only is the amt of food drastically reduced but I never feel hungry anymore. I do feel a little weak if I dont eat all day but I never get the stomach growling hunger that used to drive me to the fridge. I know it hard to stay positive till you get there..I thought I had a cast Iron stomach and would never get there..lol If you are hungry eat but make good choices and keep track of calories..you WILL get there!

Make sure you are drinking a lot of fluids between your meals. I find If i don't drink at least 2 cups of Water or crystal light between meals I get hungry. Just a thought.
