Hi Everyone I was banded on the 30th april so only a newbi, and after 3 weeks they decided to put fulid into me already because i was eating big meals and putting weight on. I just want to know is it normal that i can already eat breads, eat crakers and alot of foods that i didnt think that i could, not to mention drink more then 50ml at anytime. ive not thrown up or had any of the pain of food getting stucked yet, i only have a 6ml band as i was told yesterday by th docotr and apparenlty im already at 5ml full, so is it weird that i havent had any troubles seeing im almost at my full Fluid stage? also having the fill yesterday i thought that i would go back to the feeling i had in week one, where i was not hungry at all and couldnt care less about food, but now i dont feel that way and i have to make a effort not to eat Breakfast and Snacks .... is this normal being a day after my fill ? also has anyone else heard of only having a small 6ml band ? i didnt know it excisted until yesterday and im frnakly annoyed that i have a small one in me and that im nearly full. any help as im lost will be great thanks

Thanks guys, sorry banded 30th march got ahead of my self. I've got a 6ml band and had 4ml put in during surgery and just had another 1ml put in yesterday so I'm already at 5ml. I'm forcing myself not to snack or eat more then a small plate 3 times a day. I just thought that the "full" feeling would last longer then it does. And I find it hard to beleive I need more fluid already. And yes I've already thought about it when I feel hungry I it's all in my head but then yes my stomach is rumbling so I will have a hot drink but then I'm hungry again shortly after, and this is while I'm at work and keeping busy not sitting around watching tv. I appreciate ur advise and maybe i do just need to learn to work with the band but unless I ask all you good people how am I ment to know what's good and bad.

Thanks for the quick response, I do understand it's not going to be a mircal but because I'm still new to all of this I'm just not sure what I am ment to be feeling at this stage until I get use to it all. My main question is am i still ment to be hungry a day after having a 1ml fill ? I Appreciate everyones diffrent, but by the sounds of allot of people hit there full point or go over and I am yet to. And I am sticking to eating a small plate size and don't eat more then tha because I don't want to expand the stomach pouch,but I'm left hungry not full or I'm hungry half hour after eating....... And I just don't know if that's normal ? I thought the band was there to help you feel full ?. I may seem to be asking silly questions and I appolgies I just don't know what to really expect at this stage an if I'm gettig ahead of my self.

Hi,Just a bit confused ive just had my first fill 3 weeks after my surgery because i was still able to eat alot and hungry all the time. The docotr said i have a 6ml band and during surgery they had already put 4 ml in. the docotr even added another 1ml so total im already at 5 mls and only in my first month of having the band, im worried that there is not going to be any room for future fills. what is the point of putting a 6 mill band in during suregry ? its seems to me that i would have all my fills within 6 months oh having the band and then what do i do when i cant add anymore and i still havent lost all my weight. Can someonw please explain this to me ?
