i was banded on june 10th and after having 4 fills(6cc's), i can still eat a lot. i am starting to feel like i will never get that full feeling. the only thing i notice is that when i eat bread and dont chew it well it gets stuck, but after a minute or two it goes away. at my last fill appointment i even gained 4 pounds. my doctor keeps telling me to be patient and that i will get there but im starting to think he is full of crap. he keeps telling me how important it is to only eat 4 ounces at a time but hello, if i could only eat 4 ounces at a time i wouldnt be fat and i wouldnt need the lapband. i feel like im just going to be fat forever. i need to know there are other people that hve been through this but finally got that feeling, i need some advice desperately!

I totally understand your frustration!! I felt the same and thought maybe this wouldn't work for me. I could eat anything-same thing-sometimes thing would get stuck. That all means that you are getting closer-you are 1 or 2 fills away from the sweet spot! Don't get discouraged now-you are SO close!! Seriously, 1 week I could eat pizza the next week (after a fill) I couldn't even take 1 bite - that's pretty dramatic. You will absoultely get there and you are getting closer with each fill.

Good luck to you!

Omg thank you so much for saying that, it was EXACTLY what I needed to hear!
