Hungry after lap band?

I had lap band 3 weeks ago today. I have been feeling extremely hungry since two days prior to my staples even coming out. My first fill is scheduled for another 3 weeks. I have lost 10 lbs in 3 weeks, but have eaten virtually no carbs, and have been excercising consistently. I can eat in the neighborhood of 8-10 oz of food, and I thought I was only going to be able to eat 2oz or so. The doctor's office says this is due to my stomach swelling going down so quickly. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, how did you deal with the constant hunger?
