I just can't get it together

I am so weak when it comes to food control. I just got my first fill on November 10th and I feel as if I didn't get a fill. I don't feel any ristriction and I am hungry as if I didn't get banded :( . When I went for my first fill, I weight in and gain 10 lbs. How embarrasing is that? My surgery was November 4th and a week after that I had lost a total of 35lbs (with the pre-op) but put back 10 lbs. I just can't get it together. I want to lose weight so bad however, being that food goes down with no problems, I'm not doing the food measuring thing right. There are foods that I shouldn't be eating and I know this, yet I eat. Another thing is that my sergeon told me that my port flipped. She hit me 6 times with the needle trying to get it in the port. She tried turing it a bit so that she can someone put the needle in. She claims she was able to fill in 3.5 cc but how do I know if it worked. She also told me if next time she has a hard time, I might need revision surgery. :o I pray all goes well. I need to lose this weight.

I completely understand your pain. I gained 6 lbs between surgery and first fill. I'm not saying this to be proud of the fact, but just to let you know you're not alone. I just try and have faith in what the experienced bandsters tell me, that the sweet spot will come, and hunger will fade. All the best.

You might try going to Bariatric Choice. They have Wonderslim Kits that may help you keep on track with your diet. I think the puddings are great and the food is good. Just an idea. :rolleyes:
