Ok I had my first fill last month on the 16th then another one yesterday the 7th. I am now hungry I had a ww egg mcmuffin for Breakfast for lunch a chicken breast with a half can of spinach and after my lunch my stomach was still growling. So I ate a few bites of my friends rice then later drank some Water im still hungry why why why. I had 3cc's at my first fill and yesterday 1.5cc's. What are you guys eating do I need more to eat? I thought were to eat only a half cup.

It appears you do not have restriction. There is no amount that gives you restriction. I had my second fill and have 7.2 cc's in a 9 cc band and Though I am not as hungry I don't have restriction. Surprised they let you eat solid food the day after a fill but each doctor is different.

I have the Realize band and was told that most people don't reach restriction until at least 6 cc's. It sounds likely that you don't yet have restriction so it's not surprising that you're hungry.

I've never understood this whole idea of 'you only get to eat 1/2 cup even though, without restriction, you're going to be hungry' but you still have to do it and for . For those who can do it...more power to them...but I already told my doc that until I get to restriction, all bets are off. I'll try as hard as I can to stick to 1 cup but the idea is to get me to restriction before the will power caves.

Hey, if I could do this without the band, I wouldn't have spent the money and gone through surgery.

Yes the nurse told me that I may still not be full after the fill yesterday as well and that I may need to come back for more. Also I had my fill yesterday morning at 9am and had to do liquids for 24hrs so I was able to eat a late breakfast today and lunch.< /p>

Hang in there...I didn't have any 'real' restriction until my 3rd fill and am at my sweet spot after my 4th (but it takes some even more). Be patient (LOL, I wasn't either) and it will come. -BG
