over eating

[manderoo 2]

What happens if you overeat with the band? I am 1 month out, have no fill and sometimes eat more than my 1 cup of food because I don't feel restriction. Will the band stop me from over doing it or am I putting my band at risk?

I had my first fill this week (I was banded 7/27/11. It made a BIG difference!!!

If I over ate with my first fill (after the first week of being filled) I was fine- no problems in the world. AFter my second fill-forget it! I have been stuck 2 times with sliming-not fun! I don't think it'd due to vereating because I really haven't done that BUT it is WHAT you eat. Evidently bread products get stuck. After you get restriction make sure to keep to moist foods. I REALLy advise you to purchase Papaya Enzmes (at a health store like GNC) for the first time you get stuck.

If you have proper restriction it becomes very difficult to overeat.

The best thing to do is to practice eating now just like you have a good fill. Stick to your recommended serving sizes and drink Protein Shakes or eat greek yogurt in between meals to keep you from being hungry until you get a good fill. It's possible to overeat with no fill or with a good fill. I have 7.3 cc's in my band but if I chew my food to a liquid I could eat a whole meal just like in the past, but the difference is it would take hours to do that, and I don't have time for all of that! You can eat too many calories in slider foods which I did that when I first got my band and slowed my weight loss. I drank frappes almost everyday last summer! I am not doing that this summer...good luck!

Nothing happens if I overeat- just guilt!
