    Does it take a while to feel restriction?

    I had my surgery lasy august and I have had 3fills and im filled to a 7 and I still dont fill restrictions. The only thing I feel is sometimes if I take a big bite I can feel like going down. Nothing has ever gotten stuck and I try really hard to eat what im supposed to and the amounts but its not enough so im still hungrary and I start eating the wrong foods and end up eating way more then I should. I see my suefeon in august hopefully I can lose some weight because the weight I dropped at first I have put back on. Hopefully he can fill me and rhen that will be that sweet spot everybody is talking about.....

    How to get back on track

    I was banded in August of 2010 lost about 25 pounds and had some financial and personal stuff come up so I got off track. Almost a year later my band is at a 7 and I have never felt that restriction that I was hoping for. I sometimes feel like I can still eat the same amount. I to am addicted to carbs and need to detox from them along with fast food. When I see my surgeon in August I want him to see that I have been trying. I have gained all 25 pounds back. So I think Im going to try that 5 day pouch test and maybe even go down on my fill or maybe not. Im really hoping I didnt stretch out my pouch but we will see. I loved my band right after surgery and couldnt get a whole protein shake down. Before Christmas I would like to be 40 pounds lighter. Im only 35 and Im at a high risk of getting diabetes and and I already have high blood pressure. God I hate withdrawning frim carbs. Wish me luck.

    Discouraged with the band.

    I had my surgery a year ago in August and I lost 25 pounds at first and now I have gained it all back. I guess I was under the assumption that if I got a fill that it would just come off and I could eat whatever I want and still lose weight. Obviously I was wrong my band is filled to 7 and I fill no restriction at all nothing is telling me to stop eating because if u dont u will throw up. I have never thrown up and I can still eat alot of food. I think maybe I have stretched out my band or it has slipped. Im going to go see the nutritionist this week or next and I belong to a gym and was going walking for 45 min at 2.3 speed with a 3 percent incline but had to stop for two weeks because I hurt my back. Does anybody know how I can shrink my pounch back without drinking those god awful protein shakes.....
