Hi there, I was banded on July 12th, I go in tomorrow to get staples out. I feel like you do, I don't feel restricted. Although I eat small amounts and make sure to get my protein in. I think after we get a fill it will be different. Plus, I don't feel like I'm starving, and I eat very small amounts. I lost 15 lbs. in 10 days!!!!! That has made me so happy! Good luck.
