I had fill no. 2 today of .5ml (first fill was 3ml). That was at 3.00pm this afternoon having had lunch at 12.30pm. It's now 7.20pm and I have no desire at all for dinner... First time I've had this feeling and I like it... Lets hope it lasts...

It may or may not last, especially when just getting there....

BUT you are getting a taste of what it is like to have no hunger, and no desire to eat....given time and proper adjustments, it is possible to feel that way 24/7. And when you do eat, you eat very little and have no desire to continue.

Bring on the holidays, parties, etc...it does not matter!

I do not consider it as feeling full as many here has described it, it is something else...

I have never had that full feeling with the band.

Either way, congratulations! You and your band are on your way to a new lifestyle!

Isn't it great? I have found over time and losing chunks of weight that I needed to go back for additional fills. Some people don't. For me it was a process but it was good to have that time as I had to address behavioral modification. Like not bolting my food -- boy, that was a hard one for me. Now? I love being a dainty eater. At 53, however, that took some retraining. Also grazing. Now when I catch myself heading to the kitchen I stop and remind my brain that I don't do that anymore. If I'm hungry, I eat, if I'm not hungry I don't eat. And I don't believe in the whole starvation thing.
