Hi Everyone, I was banded on 2.5.09. I am feeling great. I feel like I was not banded at all. I can eat and drink without any problem. And to be honest I hate it. I was already to start this journey and now I am fighting ever second not to eat just like before. I have gained 3 lbs of my post op weight loss. My first fill is not untill 3/9. My concern is that I still will be able to eat even after my first fill. I have read in the blogs that some people have to have several fills before they fill restriction. Can any of you give me some adivice or reassurance? I feelling like I spent a lot of money for nothing. I know that I need to play a big part of my weight loss but I was hoping for some help here.

This is bandster hell. You can do this. Stay away from all bread, pasta, rice and potatoes to keep the cravings at bay. (Sweets too.) Get plenty of protein and eat the solid protein first and then add veggies until you have your 1 - 1 1/2cup of food. Now is the time to begin eating like the banded person you are. Also this is a perfect time to learn the difference between real hunger and head hunger. Sometimes even now I have a hard time with that. Anytime you find yourself wanting to eat stop, quiet yourself and ask if you are hungery. Really hungery or if you just want to eat. I think those that are most successful are those that learn the differnce between the hungers. Follow the bandster rules. Find them here in my blog. This is what I follow and I have done pretty well.

Good luck and keep us posted!.
