can anybody help me, i had my gastric band on the 22nd july this year, and im finding it terribly hard. i have my first band fill on the 16th sept, however at the moment i think i am still eating a lot. i can easily eat a chicken kebab, everything apart from the pitta, is this normal. also iv realised if i go out drinking i find it almost impossible not to eat bad stuff the next day, obviously the answer is not to drink but i really enjoy going out and socialising with my friends, i just think currently i am so down about it all and keep thinking this is not going to work for me, i am reading about peoples different experiences and can honestly say i have no faith tht a band fill is going to help, i paid so much money for my band and currently feel terribly sad, any encouragement greatfuly recieved many thanks xx
