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? |
Your band is not tight enough to hold in the food. You should be eating/drinking 4-8 oz. It might slow down a the band, but it is still going right through. So the hunger you are feeling is just from giving your whole stomach little bits of food all the time, so it is never really full, and digests quickly, so it is hungry all the time. The only thing that helps me is to not drink for 45 min after eating. It sucks because I love to drink with my meals, but I have to start practicing sometime...
