I'm surprised you are eating solid foods at this point. I was on a liquid diet / soft or mushie foods for almost a month before I could eat solid food again. As far as restriction goes, it may take several months before the band really starts doing it's job. My doctor was very consertative when adding to the band. I probably didn't have good restriction for about 6 months. I did feel full quick, but I could still eat. My advise is to listen to your body and walk away from the table when you feel full. Good luck!

I'm 5 days post op ... I'm eating but everything hurts going down. I'm really surprise to see you being able to eat anything at this point but I guess everyone is different.

Early on I had no restriction. Two days post op, I easily could've eaten, but I did follow my doctor's post op recommendations. I was banded in October and have only recently started to get restriction.

I wasn't hungry at all until 6 days post op, but I've had restriction... after you eat something semi-solid, does it make you feel full at all? Some do, some don't... which is why this period is called "bandster hell". I'm sorry you're not feeling it yet!

I was banded on 4/18 my doctor does not put any fill in when he first puts the band in. He said its so that your stomach can get used to having a FB in your body. I don't know if your doctor put any fill in but this maybe why you are still hungery. I know that I am hating this liquid diet!! Are you stil on the liquid diet?

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
