Everybody is different. U may not get the same 'full' feeling u had before. I was banded 8/17/11 and have 4cc's in my band. I can still eat as much of anything that I want and I have lost 39 pounds . I eat differently and am more concious of my choices. But I still eat suprisingly alot of food at each meal. Im not complaining. The fat girl in me loves it. My doctor says that its ok, the idea isnt to get 'stuck' and be miserable. He says the goal is not to snack and not feel hunger between meals. I feel like this is too easy and I must be doing something wrong. I can only hope its this easy forever.

you have not had a fill yet, your appetite is back and you are healed, no longer swollen. i went through the same thing. just wait until you get your first fill and you will see a small difference. sometimes it takes several fills to get good restriction. you are doing fine and it is normal. just watch what you eat and try not to go back to your old habits.

i wish the 24th of november would hurry up as i am scared i go back to fast food because am feeling hungry alot, i will fight with myself not to do this thanks everyone x

Yea, im a little over two wks post op and im pretty hungry. Im still following the docs order but since I've been on mushies I'm up 1 pound. I can't wait for a fill.

It is tough at first because once your swelling from surgery goes down you have no restriction, so you really have to be disciplined and continue watching your portions and what you are eating. I know everyone is different but even after my first fill I did not feel any restriction ~ I didn't really feel any real restriction until my 3rd fill. The beginning of your journey is tough, just be strong, stick to your diet and just know there is light at the end of the tunnel. You did all this work don't go back to fast food and junk, you came too far! Nothing is wrong with a treat now and then, just hang in there!
