Hi I had my surgery on 9 Feb and I'm feeling a little frustrated because I also haven't had any change in my appetite. I'm eating less because I'm making a concerted effort to do so, but am feeling no restriction from the band. I'm learning that my expectations may have been unreasonable. I also understand (and am hopeful) that this will change once I've had my fills. My first is in 3 weeks. Good luck!

I had my surgery on the same day, but have am having the complete opposite results. My appetite is not reduced at all. I can't wait to have the band tightened!

I had my op on 9 Feb and have been quite lucky in that I've had very little pain (my shoulder hurt for one day) and minimal discomfort. I started eating soft solids yesterday and am just worried because I felt no different to how I did before the surgery. I ate far far less than I ordinarily would have, but made a concerted effort to do so. I was expecting to feel full or unable to eat anymore after a few bites.. Does this only come after a fill?

Thank you so much. I'm struggling quite a bit with staying on a healthy eating plan, but hanging in there.
