I had my surgery August 31, 2012 and I'm started to worry that I did all this for nothing. I've lost more on the pre-op diet (18 pounds) than I've lost since the surgery. Since the surgery I've only around 7 pounds. And I actually gained 3 pounds back! I know I have a problem with my portion control, but I'm ALWAYS hungry. I'm currently at 6cc's and I can't even really tell that I've had the surgery done. I've never gotten anything stuck or felt like anything is stuck.....is this normal? At what point will I fill a difference when I eat? Everyone tells me to watch my portions, but honestly if I could do that I would't have had to have the surgery. I just thought once I had the surgery I wouldn't be able to over eat causing me to loose weight but that simply isn't happening. I feel really dissappointed in myself and totally embarrassed. At what point will I feel restriction or a real difference? Help!!

I was like you banded August 31' date=' 2012 and I am only now starting to lose. I had to get my third fill to now lose 2 pounds a week and I just natrually now stop eating.

It is way harder to do that if you don't have the right fill and I felt like a failure and forked over a ton of money for nothing.

Hense this is my first post since Novemeber.

Hang in I went for a fill every four weeks until I got here it will work.[/quote']

What now do you eat on average a day?
