I was banded about 6 weeks ago, and this may be a dumb question but here goes. What is the definition of "restriction"? Maybe since Im at my first fill I havent actually experianced it yet. Right now Im so scared to put back on the 30 pounds that i've lost that i stop eating before i feel full. The problem is that i still feel hunger pains all day and I keep getting "hunger headaches". I want to do this the right way, but its so much fun to see the weight slipping away that Im almost at a point were Im scared to eat? Can anyone relate to this or am I just insane?

Restriction is when the band is able to "restrict" the passage of what we swallow into the stomach.

I may give slightly different advice, but I say wholeheartedly - if you're truly hungry, then eat. Just be mindful of what you eat, and always always bpay attention to how it's feeling and what your band is telling you, so to speak. However:

i've lost that i stop eating before i feel full.

Stopping eating before you feel full is a good thing. When people ask me for tips or advice, I always tell them to focus on no longer hungry instead of full. There's a lot more food quantity between those two sensations that what you might think.
