I was banded on June 18, 2012 and am going in for my first fill on Monday, July 9, 2012. I did really well sticking to the diet prescribed until about a week ago. I guess in my mind, I had restricted myself to be limited but when I ate something and realized that there was no restriction, my mind has done a 180. I know that I have to do seriously better because I really do want to lose weight. I stay hungry all of the time, almost worse than before I was banded. Not to mention that I have a discomfort under my left ribcage that is really annoying. I'm going to ask the surgeon about this on Monday. I have learned, surprisingly, that I stick with the diet best when others are not around. Anyone have any positive suggestions outside of the obvious of "suck it up and stay faithful to the course"?
