4 Days Post-Op and still am not feeling Restriction

I had a Realize Band put in last Friday, and have been on the doctors diet since then.
The thing is that I thought i would be able to eat small amounts and be full, but im not at all. 
I still feel hungry, all of the time....

AT THIS POINT YOU REALLY DONT HAVE A RESTRICTION....YOUR STOMACH HAS GONE THRU A MAJOR CHANGE.  YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EAT AS MUCH AS YOU USED TO, BUT IN ABOUT A MONTH YOUR DOCTOR WILL ASSESS WHEN TO START ADDING SALINE......DONT EXPECT TOO MUCH AT FIRST....I HAD REALIZE DONE IN FEB...LOST 32 LBS SO FAR....BUT I DIDNT REALLY START LOSING TIL MONTH 4 OR 5.......BE PATIENT........I KNOWS ITS FRUSTRATING, BUT IM LEARNING THAT I HAVE TO MAKE THIS BAND WORK, IT WONT DO IT FOR ME............GOOD LUC K AND FEEL FREE TO WRITE ME........

I had my Realize band put in on the 19th of October, and even though I've lost 12 lbs. in the first few weeks (liquids and puree'd foods,) I haven't lost anything since starting solid food.  I also don't feel restriction.  I'm hopeful that when I go for my first fill in Dec., weight will start coming off.  Your mention of the band taking a few months to work made me feel a little better.  I know everyone's different, but it sure is frustrating to not see the scale go down with so little food.

 I have the same problem with my lap band.  I am hoping that my first fill will help with the hunger.  Michelle.

Im at the 9th month...Ive only lost about 30lbs...about 10 was pre-op....I am a person that tests things to their limits....Ive been sabotaging myself I think...but you wont feel much of a restriction at first...It will probably take a couple fills til it starts to kick in.  Just remember that you need a plan and this is only a tool..it isnt going to do the work for you...I know that, but still rely on it stopping me from eating.....now if I could take my own advice Id be doing alot better.........
please let me know how you are doing.....maybe if we could keep in touch, we can help each other thru this....
thanks so much for your reply..........Rose (rbadar)
