3 weeks post op
Always ask Qs but for this one - just go back over old threads. Not many days pass without someone asking this! Not saying don't ask - just trying to show how common it is.
There is nothing to stop you feeling hunger yet. And early weight loss is often followed by a stall or a small gain. Relax! It will get better!

Highest 290, Banded - 248 Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.
Happily banded since May 2006. Regain of 28lbs 2013-14. ALL GONE!
But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,
I almost exactly where you are...I'll be 4 week po on Friday. I weigh myself every Friday morning and have lost consistently for the first 3. But I will not be surpised if I gain this week. I can now eat almost anything, except raw veges, and I can eat more solid foods that I could even drink liquids at the first week out.
I've promised myself that I'm not going to feel bad if I have a gain...this is just the very beginning of a journey...right.

I have the very same problem! The first three days after surgery I lost 5 lbs, then it stopped, and meanwhile I gained 2 lbs. I don't feel full as well, and I find it also very, very frustrating. My first fill will be April 20th, so I guess both of us have to be watching very carefully the amount of food and be patient. You are definitely not alone with this problem!
