This is the part they call 'bandster hell'. I ended up painting half my house just to keep from eating. Drove me insane...I was so hungry all the time! The one poster was right about protein...also remember that as fat people, our idea of 'full' is totally screwed up. Whereas most people will quit eating when they're not hungry anymore, we tend to eat until we're stuffed. With the band, you'll have to retrain yourself to stop when the initial hunger is gone. I promise you that you DON'T want to overeat...I was banded October 1st and overate on Thanksgiving. I thought I was having a heart attack, it hurt so bad. Keep busy and pay attention to the cessation of hunger as opposed to being full. Also, the fills will help!
