Hello My Name Is Michelle. My Doctor Is Dr.spivak.i Was Banded On Oct 16,2006. I Want To Know If Any One Has Felt Like Thay Were Eating Too Much?i Do I Think I Need A Fill.or Maybe Its Me.

I've Only Lost 10 Lbs And I Know Some People Lose 30 Lbs In There First Month.what Should I Be Eating Becouse Now I Can Get Mostly Anything Down?

When I was first banded, I felt las if I could eat way too much also. It was so hard for me the first several weeks. In the beginning, 95% of my weight loss after surgery was due to my will power. I had to keep reminding myself that the band was my last hope, and that I just couldn't mess it up. It was not until my 2nd fill that I finally felt restriction. But everyone is different (A lot of people say they feel it after the first fill).

When you feel like you are eating too much, remind yourself of how much it means for you to be successful this time. I promise it will get easier. Talk to your doctor and drink A LOT of Water... it really does help to fill you.

Good luck and keep us posted.
