Hey Everyone!

I was banded sept 30. so almost a month. Im down 31lbs.. which is great but i can eat a lot still. I know Its not tighten yet but i thought i wouldnt be able to eat as much, but i can. Im getting tighten on Nov, 2 so hopefully i can start losing more weight and not eat as much. Anyone else hacing this problem.

I had some of that this weekend. I was banded on Oct. 7th and realized in a moment of hunger that I could swallow more without actually pulvarizing the food with my teeth first. I actually ate the chicken out of a Chic-Fil-A sandwich at the marching band competition on Saturday. No, I didn't eat the bread. I was afraid it would get stuck, plus I really didn't want it.

I understand though. My appetite has come back now that I am able to have the mushy foods. I go for my follow up appointment tomorrow.

I am down 26 pounds so far.

I was also banded 10-7-09 and am having the same issue. I can eat like i did pre-op! No restriction at all. I actually called the Dr's office today and was told at my 11-5 appointment I will get my first fill and will definetly feel the restriction. I've lost 19 lbs. so far but since starting eating solid food haven't lost any more :-(

Glad I found you guys. I have had the same issues. I have not had any problems with any foods so far. I have been very aware and watching what I eat but I guess I thought it would be harder than this so far. Down 20 pounds. banded on the 14th of October.
