We can all call it what we like. Since I feel like a failure in the diet world, and I've tried them all, I choose to say I restrict my food intake. My band is just the right tool to do that.

Hi I was banded by Dr. Davidson in Dallas on 3 weeks ago. Surgery went great, soreness was gone in 10 days, and hunger showed up in two weeks. I have not followed the soft foods diet required until week five. So I am having major guilt and alittle worry about damaging the band, but I haven't had severe pain so ... please God...I haven't screwed up too much. :help: I lost 15 by the two week check up. But I have gained back 3:hungry:. Awwkkk. I just have to rededicate myself. I don't get my first fill until mid-Sept. Do you feel any restriction after just the first fill?
