I had surgery Aug 2 and the pain is almost gone. But when I eat, I feel like I could eat a burger and I'm not feeling restricted or too full. Im on mushies now and I haven't had a burger, but I was wondering if anyone feels this way? I thought it would hurt to take regular bites (that are mot mushy) or I'd get full really fast, but that's not the case. I haven't had my first fill yet so maybe it will help when I do. Any thoughts? I am getting fuller now than from before wls.

I had my surgery the same day. I am still on liquids until Friday. I can't tell I was banded either. Looks like this may be normal

I'm 6 weeks out and will get my first fill the 27th of August. In my experience; once the swelling go's down everything is about the same as before surgery. For me the only difference is if I eat to fast I get stuck but not to the point of sliming (if I check myself fast enough) . Slimmed only once and don't want to do that again,because of the pain. Biggest problem still remains head hunger. When you can eat regular food again and time until you start getting fills is called BANDSTER'S HELL for good reason!

the band wont stop you from being hungry....it will help you eat less..

since you are so recently banded, as your swelling as went down, your hunger has returned.....this is where you learn how to control head hunger vs really being hungry....focus on protein and drinking alot and stay busy and get your mind off the food.....(i am 14 months post op with no fills yet..so you can lose weight with the band and no fills (or even alittle fill).......eat smart, eat your allotted amount and get well...best of luck to you..
