I feel ya I have had the hardest time sticking to my diet even though the band is there I still want to eat one day I thought that I had busted it cause I stopped feeling restriction but it came back very fast and I felt as if I was going to burst.
I was banded in mexico 1/25/08. Yes its very hard to stay on a all liquid diet for 5 weeks 1 pre op and 4 post op. I only had 1 bad experience while there, but for the most part it was an ok experience.
