DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703 Posted September 24, 2012 You're not supposed to be looking to feel full with the band, perhaps that's why you're feeling pain. The band isn't supposed to make you feel full nor is it supposed to restrict what or how much you eat. The only thing the band is supposed to do is allow you to feel satisfied with less food for longer periods of time. Satisfied meaning no longer physically hungry, it has nothing to do with the full feeling you knew before being banded. 2 ☠carolinagirl☠ and Maddysgram reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703 Posted September 24, 2012 Well when your hunger is simply satiated, there is no pain. Or at least there's not supposed to be. If you're not trying to feel full and you're feeling pain, then I'd discuss it with your surgeon. That's not normal. 1 Maddysgram reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
☠carolinagirl☠ 18,721 Posted September 24, 2012 When, or if ever, do you feel full instead of pain? if you are eating until you feel pain, then you are doing something wrong. you should stop eating at 1 cup of food. (pain is a sign of something is not right). i am full at about 3/4 cup of food.< /span> 1 Maddysgram reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
