2nd Fill?????

Well- I haven't lost much since my first fill. I got the first fill the week prior to thanksgiving and I don't feel "restricted". I still only eat about 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup of food but never have a restricted feeling....i feel full - is that the same???

I have an appointment on Monday (the 14th)to get a second fill. Is this the right thing to do? Just not sure.

any advice?

 

Thanks!!

You almost never feel any restriction on the first fill. It started with my 2nd fill. It sounds like you are right on track. I know you hear this all the time and it can get frustrating sometimes but everyone is different. There are lots of people who have over 6cc's in their band and me. I am perfect at 5.4cc's and anything over that I get stuck and sick, so take it slow. When I had no restriction I still ate like I did and I managed to be just fine and so far I have lost 95lbs since my surgery on May 21, 2009. I exercise and do everything my doc tells me too! I take my vitamins and drink all the water I can. It helps to adjust. I wish you much love and success!

I got my band Nov. 10 and went for my first fill Thursday and I too do not feel restricted. I have been watching what I eat, but I have to admit that i have not been drinking enough. I have only lost 20lbs. and feel that I should be losing more.
