the first couple of weeks I had "restriction" and was comfortable just eating/drinking small amounts. Now I am about 4 weeks post op and I can eat anything. I have had no adverse reactions to any food. Amounts of food as well. HELP! Anyone else having this problem???

I also am 4 weeks out and can eat anything except hard boiled eggs!!!! Remember we have no restriction at this time so of course once the swelling goes down we can eat anything!!!! Hang in there a fill is coming soon.

its all part of the process. it will change when you start getting fills, everyone is different. :Dancing_biggrin:

What you're describing is pretty textbook. Do your best and hang tight!

Yes I also can eat just about anything. I won't have a fill for 2 months out, which is early July. I hate feeling hungry & being able to eat a lot. Right after surgery I would get full so fast which was nice. But I have only lost about 5 lbs since surgery so obviously I need a fill.

I had the same problem. When my surgeon puts in the band he does not fill it at all. So when I went for my first fill 4 weeks later I was able to eat almost anything. After the first fill by the 3rd week I was able to eat almost anything again (he had put 3cc in) At the second fill he told me that because of the lost of fat around the stomach the band was wide open again(thats why I could eat anything) He now put in 5cc so he said I should feel restrictions now. I had my surgery on March 30th and have lost 34 lbs so far. I keep hearing people say its takes 3 or 4 fills before you really feel a restriction. Hang in there.

I got banded a week ago. Today my staples come off and my first fill will be next week. My doctor told me that they have discovered that six weeks before the first fill is too long and patients start to feel really hungry and are not restricted so the early fill helps avoid that. I am starting to feel a tiny bit hungry and crave something solid. I hope the fill makes it better. I'm a bit scared but I'll let you all know how it goes.

I go for my first fill on June 14th and can eat anything soft that I want. I did do very well for the first 3 weeks after surgery. I followed the diet and felt full after eating 3/4 cup of food. Now I feel that I'm falling back into my old eating habits and I am very anxious to have the fill done and hopefully feel some restriction again!!

I had my surgery May 22 and this is my second week and I can already eat anything. ....I have no restriction...I cant wait until my fill in 3 weeks
