Question:
I am right at 4 mo. out from realize band, for some reason I dont feel I have reach

the sweet spot everyone talks about, I have been so hungry the past few days, stomach growling w/hunger. I just dont know what is going on. I'm trying to choose healthy things when I eat, but I cant wait anymore than 1 1/2 hrs to eat before Im hungry again. Even if I eat meat only at my meals. Any ideas as to what is going on? never had fills under flouro. How do you approach your dr. with this request. I dont want him to think that he is not getting the liquid into the port by feeling, but I have 9cc in 11cc band, you would think I wouldnt be so hungry. Thanks Everyone God Bless you all on your journey to a healthier life.    — T R. (posted on April 21, 2010)

Are you being mindful of not drinking anything during meals, and not drinking for at least 30 minutes prior and post meals? I've also read to not drink 1 hour before or after. That helps to keep the food from "washing" down through the opening.

I have a 14 cc bandand have 8 cc's in. I am not at the sweer spot yet, but if I do not chew very well my band sure tells me. My surgeon tells me it is coming. I am loosing about 3 lbs a month but that is with alot of work and alot of mind over matter. I also am drinking alot of Isopure clear protein to get in my 80 grams of protein daily. My surgeon also does not do the fills under flouro, but because of what he draws back, I am sure he is in the right spot. I just have a food addication which is hard to overcome. On somedays I can eat very little on other days I am starving. Good luck on your journey.
