Everybody is different. U may not get the same 'full' feeling u had before. I was banded 8/17/11 and have 4cc's in my band. I can still eat as much of anything that I want and I have lost 39 pounds . I eat differently and am more concious of my choices. But I still eat suprisingly alot of food at each meal. Im not complaining. The fat girl in me loves it. My doctor says that its ok, the idea isnt to get 'stuck' and be miserable. He says the goal is not to snack and not feel hunger between meals. I feel like this is too easy and I must be doing something wrong. I can only hope its this easy forever.

you have not had a fill yet, your appetite is back and you are healed, no longer swollen. i went through the same thing. just wait until you get your first fill and you will see a small difference. sometimes it takes several fills to get good restriction. you are doing fine and it is normal. just watch what you eat and try not to go back to your old habits.

It is tough at first because once your swelling from surgery goes down you have no restriction, so you really have to be disciplined and continue watching your portions and what you are eating. I know everyone is different but even after my first fill I did not feel any restriction ~ I didn't really feel any real restriction until my 3rd fill. The beginning of your journey is tough, just be strong, stick to your diet and just know there is light at the end of the tunnel. You did all this work don't go back to fast food and junk, you came too far! Nothing is wrong with a treat now and then, just hang in there! :)

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
