Hi

im sure someone more experienced will soon answer

i was banded sept 25th....had first fill dec 5th and next one is jan 23rd

im bit like you feel i can eat far too much

restrict myself by limiting to 1500cals daily

i find it a bit frustrating

i would love to not have to do that but feel i have to

i dont get hungry on that amount but just find it depressing

to have to do it

my weight loss is going ok i guess i have just hit the 20kg mark at the weekend

but just want the next fill....hehehehe

i think we get impatient

and want it all now

i need to stop at times and remind myself how far i have come

and then stop also to give myself a pat on the back

we are losing weight

this is good

hugs Leeanne

-- Can anyone offer any advice?

Hi All,

I was banded on the 26th Nov 2007. To date I have had one fill. I am

not sure how much as the Dr fills according to pressure rather than a

specific amount. I am a bit concerned at how much I can eat at a

sitting and am still quite hungry soon after a meal. The weight loss

is going Ok at 14.8kg to date but I am having to make a conscious

effort not to snack. Has anyone else experienced this?

Regards

congrats on your fabulous weight loss - that is half of what I

have lost in 2 years!!!! It will take a few fills to get to a level

where you are fully restricted and hopefully stopping the urge to eat

continuously. When my restriction was low, I could still put away a

decent amount of food and the head and stomach hunger just hung around

forever.

Remember it will take awhile to get rid of the weight - the slower the

better. Don't panic and just try and concentrate and eat from hunger

rather than habit. Your turn will come to be doing the small portion

thing - enjoy the ride in the meantime.

cheers

Hello Yes It takes a while before your brain kicks in, you may think you feel hungry for sometime yet. Just eat small snacks of healthy food when you think you feel hungry until you get use to eating smaller amounts of food. (Old habbits die hard) If the weight loss is going along OK its generally a good indication that the amount of food your able to eat at this time is OK. As you loose weight and you have more fills in your band the amount of food you eat will get less.. If your over eating your band should be letting you know by a tightness feeling in your chest or if your eating things too fast. This is just a guide as some people have different experience along the way. Your progress so far it excellent ! ! ! .. I felt i had to respond to your email as your banding date was on my birthday... LOL good luck with your weight loss adventure, for me it was the

best decision i made in my life. Sandy weight loss to date 70kg shansmeboy wrote: Hi All,I was banded on the 26th Nov 2007. To date I have had one fill.
