2 mos. post op with questions....
I can so totally realte to your situation. I was banded 3/2/10 I have had one fill and I feel more hungry now then before the fill. I haven't had any stuck episodes or anything. I don't let myself eat till I feel extreemly full but, I know I could. I am stalled since I had my first fill on April 5th. It is extremely fustrating and I know it will get better with other fills to come. I didn't put this weight on overnight and I know it isn't coming off over night. I will keep trying to make good food choices and adding activity.

I was banded on Feb 23.2010.Ive had one fill.No restriction at all!I did better weight loss on Weigh****chers.I drink water morning ,noon ,night.How depressing,right.I took some advice from people on ere..and am trying to do things right.Enough protein,etc.I'm with you on wondering why I made a horrible mistake.I should have had the rny surgery.I get the second fill in two weeks,but,from what others day,I wont even be able t o tell.Ive had 3 ccs so far..3 more in two weeks.Untill then,any suggestions????I feel like getting the band took out!
Don't get too discouraged. This is only the period they call bandster hell. I also thought as soon as I have surgery I will be losing weight right away. I know from what I read on here and by talking to people who have had surgery that isn't normally the case. We need to just hang in there until we get the right amount of fill in our bands. It will happen and I know it is hard to wait but, read some success stories look and before and afters and keep faith. We can do this!
PS: most of my weight loss was pre surgery
