Not happy with myself

11-18-2010

Hello All, I've been banded two weeks and all I've been doing for an entire week is eating. I wanted this band because I know that I am weak minded and needed help with control. I am always hungry like before the band and instead of making the right choices, I've been eating everything I shouldn't. :redface: I get my first fill December 10th and I pray that this will stop me from eating the way I do. :smile:

My first few weeks I ATE... My first fill cut those portions in half... So I"m hoping my next one will do the same. My friend is filled to 6cc and is super full after 3 bites... Good Luck!

I was also the same as you. The first fill brought me to 5cc's and it helped a lot. The second fill to 6cc brought me to my sweet spot and you'll get there too. Just be patient and get your fills as soon as you can.

I know how you feel. I didn't feel any difference the first weeks after surgery. I thought I was doing something wrong. Because I was eating! But now I understand with the fills I get, it will help.

Im 6 weeks banded and Im eating just the same. I obviously dont do well on diets and I have no restriction so Im eating whatever I want. Hoping that will change after a fill. I know exactly how you feel.

Thank you all for your comments... I am hopeful that the fills will keep me on track. I started post liquid diet at 272 lbs. Ater the liquids, day of surgery I was 251. A week after surgery I went down to 247. Today I went back up to 251. I'm going to try my best not to eat so much before I get my first fill. Thanks again.

I too can't seem to quench my hunger. I try soooo hard to stay on track. I had my first fill and within a few days ate like nothing happened. I feel that I've betrayed myself. And I get my next fill in 3 weeks, worries me to think what the Dr. is gonna say.

I so know what you all are talking about I was banded in August and had my second fill to 6cc on a 10cc band. I do not feel much different and am battling to make good choices. Tonight I am going out for dinner and hope to eat as little as possible but I got banded because I needed help and now I dont feel any different??????? Has anyone been through this and come out smiling????
