Question about feeling full
- Thread starter fatbutnot4eva
- Start date
Maybe us banders need to have a bit of a goal that isn't entirely weight loss related to keep us focussed. Any ideas?
Im just thinking that it's great having the Easter Challenge etc but this may serve to make us new banders feeling a little out of the picture?
Something like a pedometer challenge - over the course of a month?

IHNY - yes know what you mean with a new band I think becuase teh weight loss is slower than a bypass (by quite a bit) it does make you think your either going to fail or its not working, especially when you can pretty much eat what you coudl before.
I know I am going to piss quite a few people off but I did think it was going to be a bit of a magic wand and I would start to lose weight straight away - well why not, can eat this cant eat that tiny portions etc... false you can eat what you want you can eat bigger portions untill the fill is right which can take months. So I now know its not a lie this is just a tool. I am so glad I didnt tell the world otherwise i would look like a fool.
I myself am looking forward to going back to the gym in 2 weeks then hopefully some weight will start to shift but that is down to shear hardwork not the band.
I have me appointment with Mr Ammori in 2 weeks so I will talk to him and let you all know what he says surely he must have some words of wisdom.

Karen you read my mind completely, I am eating as if I dont have a band and think omg have I dsloged it is it now undone or further down, how on earth can i eat a pretty much full plate without feeling any restriction.
I go back in just less than 2 weeks to see my surgeon and I am going to tell him everything and hope he can solve it all and book me in for a fill.
I dont even know the size of my band all i know is that i had 2ml 2 weeks ago and they said they put 3ml in when they fitted it so as far as i know i have 5ml.
good luck and keep us posted too x
