Even once you're back on real food, you have to remember a few things. If you're eating until you're full, you're eating too much. You should be eating until you're satisfied not full. You also have to remember that band isn't supposed to physically stop you from eating, that will always be your job. This is why it's so important to stick to band sized portions. Have a look at the link in my signature, I think it will help you a lot. Best wishes. 1 Roxie Deleon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You will easily be able to go 4 or more hours without hunger after eating very little food. I honestly forget to eat and skip meals entirely because I'm not hungry. Hang in there, it gets much easier and better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
