Does anyone ever feel like some days you can hardly eat anything and then other days you can eat much more? I have been feeling very restricted and since lunch time today I feel like I can eat anything. I am scared that something happened to my band. Anyone else ever have this? :)

Bands can be fickle and none one can explain the reason why. I have read many posts saying the same thing you have said and it happens to me that way, too.

Best wishes,

Mimi

Hi, I'm one week out from being banded and finding the same thing. Mid day a 1/2 cp of cream strained Soup feels like a gallon bubble in my chest, the next time, feels like I could eat 2 cups! Having the same worries but seems to be common, so gonna try to trust the band and relax. hang in there!

I feel exactly the same. Most days I do good but lately I have been feeling hungry. I was banded on March 5th, I guess it's time to get my first fill.

Has anyone got a fill before the 6 weeks? Does it hurt a lot?

Thanks.

I was also banded March 5th and had my first fill March 31st and a second one scheduled for April 20th. Its not the "best" feeling ordeal, but its bearable...

I ate pretty much anything I wanted 2 weeks after surgery, felt absolutely no restriction and after my 1st fill of 4cc's still feel very little restriction.. Im hoping it will get better after the next one.... Good luck.

I have my first fill next Tuesday and I want to go in there ready to ask for some serious restriction because I have been banded for 3 weeks and sometimes I feel very restricted after 1/2 cup of Protein, but most of the time, I could eat another 1/2 cup easy. Soooo, this band thing is very confusing. Sometimes I get stuck and I've even did the slimming thing ( not fun) and sometimes I can eat with no prob ( as long as I chew chew chew)....but foods that have no substance even get stuck, for example mandarin orange slices that I was feeding to my 16month old got stuck, LOL....this is a learning game and I have to say it keeps the day interesting, lol.... :thumbup:

Wow! Was your port site healed by the time you had your fill? I was banded 3/20/10 and am ready for a fill but my port site is still pretty sore so that has me a bit apprehensive.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
