Thanks for posting, I myself am worried:sad: I also have a 11cc band and I'm at 9 1/2cc and I am able to eat anything also, from any kind of bread, chicken, steak etc. I'm so worried. Please let me know how it goes for you. I was banded 7/2/10 and have lost only 26pds. I'm so disappointed with the band at the moment....

Thanks for posting, I will have my first fill on tues 8/3 and I cant wait. I feel like i can eat anything at the moment :cursing: I hope it gives me some type of restriction. thanks again and congrats on your 3 1/2 pound loss:thumbup:

trace10.. What I mean by restriction is that I'm hungry just like before I got my surgery. No I'm not on mushy foods. I was on liquid for the first week and mushy for the second week, after that it was soft solids. At the moment I am able to eat anything that I put in my mouth. It might be different for you as every doctor is different. Some people will have restriction for longer than a week and some will not. I was hoping I was one to be restricted till my first fill but unfortunately not. I lost 10 pounds on the first week and a half, but after that, once the swelling went down I was hungry all the time. Now I just have to watch what I eat and for the most part I'm just maintaining my 10 pound lost.This is why I said that I can't wait for my first fill, I need restriction. I will not complain because I know my time will come and I'm just so happy that I had the surgery. I hope this help and good luck on your new journey:smile:

yes, i also would like to say congrats to everyone getting banded soon. I got banded 7/2 and although I don't have any restrictions at the moment I'm still very happy about my decision. Cant wait till my first fill on 8/3. I'm still so very much excited! good luck everyone:thumbup:

it also took less than a month for me..

what happen before the lap-band surgery? I just my date for the surgery and how could I handle my cravings and really want to do this.
