Feeling NO RESTRICTION and depressed

[browneyedgirl89 10]

i was banded on june 10th and after having 4 fills(6cc's), i can still eat a lot. i am starting to feel like i will never get that full feeling. the only thing i notice is that when i eat bread and dont chew it well it gets stuck, but after a minute or two it goes away. at my last fill appointment i even gained 4 pounds. my doctor keeps telling me to be patient and that i will get there but im starting to think he is full of crap. he keeps telling me how important it is to only eat 4 ounces at a time but hello, if i could only eat 4 ounces at a time i wouldnt be fat and i wouldnt need the lapband. i feel like im just going to be fat forever. i need to know there are other people that hve been through this but finally got that feeling, i need some advice desperately!

I totally understand your frustration!! I felt the same and thought maybe this wouldn't work for me. I could eat anything-same thing-sometimes thing would get stuck. That all means that you are getting closer-you are 1 or 2 fills away from the sweet spot! Don't get discouraged now-you are SO close!! Seriously, 1 week I could eat pizza the next week (after a fill) I couldn't even take 1 bite - that's pretty dramatic. You will absoultely get there and you are getting closer with each fill.

Good luck to you!
