When I was first banded, I felt las if I could eat way too much also. It was so hard for me the first several weeks. In the beginning, 95% of my weight loss after surgery was due to my will power. I had to keep reminding myself that the band was my last hope, and that I just couldn't mess it up. It was not until my 2nd fill that I finally felt restriction. But everyone is different (A lot of people say they feel it after the first fill).

When you feel like you are eating too much, remind yourself of how much it means for you to be successful this time. I promise it will get easier. Talk to your doctor and drink A LOT of Water... it really does help to fill you.

Good luck and keep us posted.

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