OK, I'm getting worried

Is anyone else getting hungry? I'm so afraid I've messed up my band. I've been so hungry today. I was eating about 1/2 cup at a time 3x a day, but today 1/2 cup wasn't satisfying at all and I've eaten 4 times.

I guess I should have addressed this to bandsters, eeek, sorry!

Hi Shanna I have not yet been banded; 2/28. But from what I hear, you sound like you are normal. I hear that being hungry is a problem until you get a fill in there. You just had surgery not too long ago, so maybe that will be the next step, get a fill in. I hear that is a common thing, once you heal up and start on the mushies. I believe that once you get that fill, you will have restriction and then be less hungry. I have to say, I was hoping that once I get the band, I just won't be hungry, because I know, when I get hungry, I am going to pick at stuff. (Of course, the first pb event I have, will put an end to that cheating!) lol I think you should check with your DR and see if you can schedule a fill. Seems they all have different amounts of time they want you to wait before, so maybe yours will do it. Worth a try eh? Take care, and GOOD LUCK fellow Feb Bandster! Sharon DOB 2/28/05 10 days to go!

Hi Shanna, don't know much about the band but what my doctor talked to me about when I was still undecided. So here is what he told me, it might help. He told me with the band it might have to be adjusted 3 or 4 times until it is right for your body. All bodies are different, and it takes a little time to get the band adjusted correctly to fit your needs. Talk to the doctor and let them know what is going on. Take care, Luly
