First Fill......still no restriction!!

I got my first fill a few days ago and still have no restriction. I know it takes time and could take many fills to find my "sweet spot" but the waiting and frustration are killing me. I am still positive, especially after seeing some pictures posted on this site but must admit I am nervous that I paid 16k and won't see my goal weight. I can handle a 18-24 month period to get me there (I think) but am wondering if my expectations are too high and that I will most likely lose only half of the weight I need to lose. It all depends on me, I know that. I have started boot camp 3 times a week and trying to get back into running 2-3 times a week to help get me on track but boy....the same old habits are creeping back. I do phenomenally well until I get home around 5pm and then I totally fall apart! How can I have my act together for 2/3 of the day and so severely blow it the last 3-4 hours. The damage I do is nothing short of embarrassing. Since I do all of the cooking and "kitchen" stuff, it is difficult to step away. I have even thought of duct taping my hands!!!! Desperate to make this work for me. If anyone else shares this dilemma and has some great ideas, I would love to hear them. I know all about finding something else to do, go for a walk, read a book etc. Reality is, I can't even get out of the kitchen (cleaning up after dinner, making lunches, etc.). How do I change my mindset????????? I am truly desperate.:bored:

I've had two fills and am feeling no restriction yet...It's depressing...I was worried that the band wasn't going to be the helpful tool I was hoping it would be, but now that I'm reading a bunch of posts, it's becoming more obvious that I will get the restriction after getting more fills...At least that's how it sounds...

I'm trying not to eat really large portions (that's my downfall), but I know I'm still eating too large of portions. I had my surgery on 7/30...my first fill on 8/30 and a 2nd fill on 9/7. Everyone keeps asking how the weight loss is going and it's so disappointing to only report that I've lost 5 or so lbs (depending on the day).

It's been a while since you posted your comment...how are you doing now? Did you start feeling restriction after more fills? I sure hope so...and that you can report that things are moving along for you now...
