I got my first fill yesterday. 2 cc's. It felt weird.

I was starving and liquids weren't cutting it. I ate some yogurt to make the hunger stop.

Today the protein powder and frozen chunks of banana are getting me through to lunch.

Patience is the name of this particular game... my next fill is in 6 more weeks.

I would, too if I were you. Tell her you are concerned about being so hungry and ruining the progress you've made so far.

Hi there ...I was banded 5/31 and have had 2 fills. I am down 47 pounds since I started eating better in April. I too was almost more hungry after the first fill because everything was healing and feeling better. Hang in there as this is the time that feels a little slower than you would like but it really is a journey and you are on the path. Keep up the exercise and good eating habits. It will get better

Hi there, I was banded June 23 2008 and have not lost ANY weight at all. I have had I fill of 3.4 cc in a 10cc band. I can eat only a certain amount but then I am hungry again in 1-2 hours. I go in for another fill tomorrow and I can't wait. I hope more doctors take into account the psychological impact of not losing any weight after the surgery and do fills every two weeks or something because it seems that a lot of people have this problem. One person on the forum has a doctor who has a band and he is much more aggressive with the fills because he knows how important it is for people to experience some success. For me the hardest part is explaining to people (only 3) who know I have had this why I haven't lost a single pound. That said, I am still glad I did this and am hoping for good results for you and me.
