Shrinking Sissy

So, you do actually have the sensation that you are full faster and not just that feeling that something got stuck going down? If you have to ignore hunger pangs or count calories or measure you food there wasn't much point in being banded. I was told if I ate healthy solid foods the band would take care of the rest. That's what I'm trying to do. But if you eat too much, even healthy food, you don't lose weight. Give me an example of what and how much you eat during a day. Are there any absolute no-nos? Like drinking anything when you eat? Do you only eat three times a day or whenever you are hungry? Thanks for your help. Sissy

You gotta help me out!! I was banded March 13, 2008 and I haven't lost one single pound. What do you eat and how much? I have had 3 fills trying to get some feeling of restriction but if I eat slowly I can eat as much as I ever could. Do you actually have the sensation that you are full or do things just get "stuck" and you have to stop eating??

That is wonderful. I however am not having such great results and I would like your input. I was banded March 13th and I have not lost a pound. The first two fills I felt NO restriction and now the only difference I can feel is if I eat too fast I get the feeling that something is stuck. If I eat slowly I have the same appetite I always did. They tell me I can eat anything and the band will tell me when I am full but it's not working out like that. What and how much do you eat a day? And how much exercise do you get? Thanks. Sissy
