So banded May 20th . Very happy about that but as of right now I have no restrictions yet. Which means I can eat as if before banded. Not portion wise tho i am measuring and weighIng my foods. I am trying so hard to chew small bites and eat slowly but it is so hard!! First fill next week so I need to get this down an focus ! Thanks for letting me vent

Hi bindi. I too was banded on 5/20 and I have no restriction and it is hard for me to eat slow and chew until Mush. I also get my first fill Monday. I am hungry again now. I just want to eat. I have lost 20 lbs and want to lose 45 more. I want to cry because I think the weight should be coming off faster and I should not be wanting to eat eat and eat

Hi ! We have been eating this way for so long and being hungry makes me eat even faster !!! It's hard to "teach an old dog new tricks" . I to have lost 20 and have 50 more to go which I WILL lose.. I just ate and am hungry also. When I feel this way I will sip on a cup of hot tea and it really helps. Or I'll have a sugar free Popsicle . Good luck on Monday I go Thursday ! Keep me posted and we CAN do this.

you WILL do this

and

you ARE doing this

Thanks for the correction . Your right

I was banded on may21 and have really started to get hungry too! It's crazy how that happens. my first fill isn't until the 25th. In the meantime I am exercising and tracking my calories. I have been on a plateau for the last two weeks and that is making me crazy! Definitely going to be ready for a fill!

Just out of curiosity, what are you all eating at this stage? I'm still on mushies haha never thought I'd love mashed potatoes this much...
