  1. :confused: I thought I wasted my money, But I see that most people here feel the same way and are still fighting hunger. I have had my band for 2.5 months and lost 38lbs but still was not happy. I can still eat good size meals because i feel no restriction,,. I once eat a full Ny steak, mashed potatoes, green beans and a full ceaser salad on my first month and 1/2. I guess its based on will powe, After I ate all that food I went to my doctor for an ajustment and now have abot 7cc in a 10cc band. I still fill very little resrtiction and my stomach almost never fills full. I ahve been depressed many times and somtimes think it not working at all. I was told before i got lap-band that it was a tool and will tell you when you are full. It seems i have to tell myself because your brain tells you too eat all the food you see or want. I admit i love food and its like a drug addiction. The funny thing is that now I only eat about 1,000 calories a day, like chicken salad and beans for protien about 60 cal, 3 eggs in the morning.
