I've had a little bit of both. I get hungry normally, like when its meal time and I havent eaten for quite a while, I get hungry. That's fine, thats what our bodies are supposed to do. But I never suffered from inappropriate hunger, I ate a lot but I wasnt physically hungry when I did it, in fact I get hungrier more often now that I'm not eating all the darn time.
But with the band, you get hungry, you eat a little bit, the hunger goes away. You are able to respond to normal hunger appropriately. And I dont know how it does it but the band does cut your appetite, you stop thinking about food all the time, well that's how its been for me. Exactly like the Tenuate my parents put me on way back in the 80's. Aside from physical sensations of hunger, the hyperinterest in food just evaporated.
Sometimes, when I have just had a fill and am very tight for a few days and can only eat half a cup or less, I do find I'm starving all day long but cant eat to satisfy it. I eat a bit, I can feel the fullness in my pouch and that I cant eat more, but my stomach is still grumbling and crying out for food kind of thing. But that never lasts, once the fill settles I'm OK.
