I had this same problem and was frustrated with lack of weight loss when I first started after surgery. But the Dr did a sitting fill after two other fills. This is when you actually sit up with the fill needle in and drink Water as they adjust it to be restrictive enough to just keep the water down or comfortable with the fill. I had the problem before with not enough restriction I would eat things I knew would go through and fill me up. Now that I am truly restricted at the point where I need to be I do not get hungry like I used to before and have learned to eat very small portions and still fill full. It is an adjustment and I have also added in exercise now that the weight is coming off. You will be surprised at how much you can do when the weight starts to drop and how motivating it is. I could never run 1 mile before without nearly passing out, but now I do crossfit and run 2 miles each day which is helping the weight melt off faster than ever before. Stay away from the scale for awhile and exercise a little each day to work up to what you can do. You will get there, just be patient and get your fill to the point where it is helping you not be hungry, and tell yourself to be patient, you will get there.
