One week b4 first fill

[7984beva]

Hi everyone, I'm finding myself getting back into old habits and eating soft sweet things in large amounts as my band is getting loose. Is this normal??

Worried that when my band is filled I still will be able to eat more than I should be able to and won't lose weight. Really thought my band would be stricter so that I felt sick when over eating.

it is normal that the band gets looser as you are due a fill but it is up to you to make the choices with regards to the food you eat, having a band shouldn't make you feel sick ... It would be wrong if it I'd. The control is down to you... Make positive choices to drier and crunchier food which keeps you fuller for longer - just because you can eat omething in large amounts isn't mean we should -it really is down to you and not the band.
I still have no restriction from my band but control what and how I eat. Remember too that eating large amounts can stretch and damage the pouch that has been created by your band. But you shouldn't feel sick by over eating and that over eating is down to you to control and not th band

Agree with topkat, the band is not a tool to make you feel sick! I tend to think of it being there and then I aim to eat the right things in the right amounts the majority of the time that I know will not make me feel i have the band, and will make it work best for me. It may sound stupid, but I want my mind to do the right work and not the band to tell me when I have done wrong. :sigh:
