WHEN does the hunger stop?!?

I'm happy to see this post. I am starting to feel hunger again too and I'm a week out from my first fill. (by band was placed with a fill also)
I had hunger pains the first week, but after that they went away....and now they're back.
I like the suggestion to keep fluids in your tummy to keep it happy. Maybe some protein water?? I'm going to try that!!

Yeah, chiqui, if your stomach is growling a half hour after having a scrambled egg, then you probably need a fill.

I, however eat 2 scrambled eggs and stay satisfied for about 4 hours. I don't know if just one egg would fill my pouch to satisfy me or not. I am doing fine without another fill, so I won't go get one yet.

I went in last Tuesday to get my 3rd fill. Dr. Spivak thought I might have a leak but when he withdrew the liquid the full 3.5 was in so he gave me another 1 for a total of 4.5. That was a bit too tight so he took out .5 and I now have 4 ccs in an 8 cc band. I definitely feel the difference. I don't think I'm at my "sweet spot" but I get satisfied on less food and the feeling of satiety lasts longer than it did before. I'm due for my TOM next week so I was thinking I'll wait until after that to see how things go. If I am still losing too slow, then I will go back in a couple of weeks.
