Pain Vs Full

[Kami172000 16]

When, or if ever, do you feel full instead of pain?

You're not supposed to be looking to feel full with the band, perhaps that's why you're feeling pain.

The band isn't supposed to make you feel full nor is it supposed to restrict what or how much you eat. The only thing the band is supposed to do is allow you to feel satisfied with less food for longer periods of time. Satisfied meaning no longer physically hungry, it has nothing to do with the full feeling you knew before being banded.

Its suppose to help you feel full and feel full longer with little food. I know what the band is suppose to do i did a lot of research.

[Kami172000 16]

By full i mean no longer hungry not stuffed to my limit

Well when your hunger is simply satiated, there is no pain. Or at least there's not supposed to be. If you're not trying to feel full and you're feeling pain, then I'd discuss it with your surgeon. That's not normal.

if you are eating until you feel pain, then you are doing something wrong. you should stop eating at 1 cup of food. (pain is a sign of something is not right).

i am full at about 3/4 cup of food.< /span>

You lose weight via lap band by restriction, just like you lose weight via gastric bypass by malabsorption.
