to all that have been banded, Is it easier to change your eating habits after the band is placed? Here I am 2 weeks out trying to eat only 3 meals a day and its a killer. Will this surgery be helping me with my desire to always want to eat? I know we need to start watching what we eat B-4 the surgery but I finding it almost impossible which is why Im choosing to have the surgery. any and all imput will be loved...thanks , Wendy:confused:

Hi Wendy,

Being banded will be a big help. You will feel full and in a few weeks will not be thinking of food all the time. Once you have a good restriction most of the time you feel like you just finished a meal. Good luck!!!!

Wendy,

Hang in there Girl. It will be much easier to control your hunger after you are banded and get it filled. I feel full after only 4 or 5 bites now. I had my surgery 14 months ago and have lost 110 pound!! I have always had a big weight problem and a big appitite to go with it! This band has given me a new life! No regrets here!

hey Linda, Thank you so much I needed to hear that. I guess that I really dont know what it's like to be full and not want to nibble. It's just hard to believe that I can feel any different than I do now. You keep up that amazing job your doing!.. and thanks again for the import......Wendy from Arizona

I am 1 month post op and before surgery I was a snacker. I found it since surgery to not really need to snack. I have no restriction yet but the band alone helps me to eat less. I sometimes have one snack in between meals (yogurt, fruit or something healthy) when I know it will be late before I eat dinner. B/C I don't have restriction yet I do find myself getting hungry but it is usually just around meal time. Good luck to you

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
