Hello. I am new here. I have read alot of post and some good stories. I had my LAP-BAND® on 12/29/08. I am 8 days post now and everything just seems to be to good to be true. No pain, no sickness, and full of energy. However, I still seem to stay hungry. I have pretty much stuck to the diet I am to be on including getting all my protein. I just dont understand if I have a 2 oz. pouch, then why after eating 2oz. do I not feel this fullness sensation. I have actually ate 6 oz. of food in one meal I am ashamed to say. It was cottage cheese and a sugar free jello pudding cup. According to my scales I am down about 17lbs. in the first 8 days, but I just dont understand this being hungry all the time. Anyone have the same feeling as me and still feel great?
