I was banded on 09-08-08. I am hungry more than I think I should be or expected. I can eat anything and average portions, not really restricted but no fill yet, that is next week. Now I am worried the band has slipped, or stretched, all the things that make you panic. A guy I work with had it done several years ago and almost every day at lunch he gets up to vomit something. He also says he and his wife share things when they go out to eat, but I noticed he is put some weight on lately. Is that normal? Also noticed gas, is that normal??:thumbup:

Thanks. I guess I am just worried about screwing up the surgery for lack of will power. I know when I get a fill I will be restricted and maybe I am afraid......... I have lost about 30 pounds. That feels good but I love pizza and mcdonalds. I can't eat what I used to eat, but I am scared I messed up because I can eat. This si worse than when I quit smoking. You have to eat and be around food!

no maybe 80 ounces a day? I do know I can still drink and eat together although I try not too, the habit is hard to break

so did you eat pretty normal food and amounts before the fill or am I messing up? I don't eat as much as before, but today I had a small sub w/fries for lunch and dinner a bowl of chili w/ a hot dog.
