I worry about stretching my pouch too.. I worry because I'm still not sure what it feels like to be full. I had my surgery 5 weeks ago and just started softer foods. I eat the amount of food the doctor tells me to, but I don't really feel full. I worry that when I start eating solid foods, I will stretch the pouch and gain weight back. I'm probably being a little silly and paranoid, but I just don't want to gain weight. Anybody else feel like this?

Hi all,
I've read a few comments banders have made about being in the "Green Zone", but I'm not sure what that exactly means. It sounds like something I need to find! I'm relatively new (been banded for just 4 months). I'm making good progress, but I feel hungry a lot. I'm still trying to figure out if it's real hunger or "head" hunger.

Im confused why some people are continuing to stay on this website when they SAY "the band didn't work".
It looks like they are here to cause trouble and bash the band?
If you SAY the BAND is the reason you didn't lose weight. Then move on. right? Not that I can say leave, because obviously I can't and wouldn't do that . But i've noticed the same person going post to post arguing with people.
Honestly, how do we know the band is preventing you from losing weight? How do we know you didn't eat right ? Just saying.
The band helps with over eating. It does not make you lose weight. They don't place the band and the weight just comes off.
It's all about your diet. Sounds like some one needs something to blame it on. Im new WITH the BAND, but im not NEW when it comes TO the band. Ive done a lot of research on the Band.

Great topic... The one thing I love the most about this site is the support and positivity. I was banded almost 2 months ago and am doing great. I believe this is going to change my life for the better Glad to hear all the supporters out there!
