Question about feeling full when it is about time for a fill
Since being banded, I have never gotten the old "full" feeling. Its more like being "satisfied". After two years of being banded, I can't eat more than 1/2 a hamburger and I never get the fries. I could eat them if I wanted but I just don't desire them anymore. If I tried to eat the whole burger, I would ended up PB'ng because it would be too much for my pouch. Ive learned to eat a few leisurely bites and ask myself if its "enough". I don't miss that "full" feeling at all but I enjoy being satisfied at less than 1/2 that I used to put away.
5.0 cc in a 10cc lapband (four fills) 1 unfill of .5cc on 5/24/2011.
.5 fill March 2012. unfill of .25cc May 2012. Unfill of .5cc June 2014.
Still with my lapband with no plans for revision. Band working well since
last small unfill.

When I first got banded on 8/30/12, I was able to get that, "Full," sensation after eating very little. I had to have 3cc taken out (before I had my first fill) and have since had a fill of 1.5cc. that, "Full feeling," was not a matter of being STUFFED, but a complete feeling of satiation. Now, I do not have that feeling and am tempted to eat more, but I have learned to NOT eat the extra. However, I did like having the feeling that I was full and I was not tempted to eat more then.
