:hungry: i HAVE ACTUALLY GAINED 1ST SINCE BANDED 2 YEARS AGO AND FOR ME IT HAS BEEN A WASTE OF MONEY... I CAN STILL EAT LOTS OF CHOCOLATE AND OTHER SATURATED FATS AND I WOULD NEVER EVER HAVE HAD IT PUT IN IF i HAD KNOWN IT WOULD NOT REDUCE MY CRAVING FOR THE SATURATED FATS:help:

:cry I have been banded a year last July and was 20st when I had the op, now I am 20st, so have not lost anything, apart from the post op fluid regime. When I had my consultation, I told the Dr I had an eating disorder and especially with chocolate. He told me that I would feel sated quickly and there fore would eat less, however, I can eat all the chocolate I want, however have restrictions, on the foods I am supposed to eat, like chicken, etc. So does the band fail many people? do people end up having it removed? What does one do in a case like mine and in actual fact with another person I know, who has all so the same problems.

I am so pleased I have found this site , thamks for the advise, yes please the picy would be better sized down. I have had one appt since my surgery and that was with the nurse, I have been told to have 3 small meals a day of half a cup of food? Needless to say I am always hungry. I find I burp a lot and my weight loss has remained status quo with no weight loss. I am dissappointed as i envisaged a greater effect on my eating and of feeling hungry. Here they do not do fills until 3 months after the surgery and we get 2 free fills then we have to pay for it thereafter.

2 months gastric lap band and am not sure what i should be eating
