HELP! wants to be prepared

[jennykay 0]

Hello I was reading some earlier posts about restriction and the feeling they were having after a fill. I am a newbie and was recently banded on June 28th. I guess my question is when you do receive a fill(s) how do you know your getting that restriction feeling? What does it feel like?

And another thing that interest me is I've heard on here the dreaded "stuck" feeling you may get after eating. How do you know when that is happening? What does that feel like? Because that sounds awful!

Thanks for any answers you can give me that can help me succeed in the future. Knowing something about the coming events will definitely help!

Everyone's precise sensations are going to vary somewhat, especially depending on the degree of the situation.

Basically if you eat a banded persons normal serving you should feel satisfied - not stuffed, but not hungry.

If after eating something you have pain/pressure that is constant you may be stuck. Nothing is moving in either direction. I can tell for sure by trying to force a burp - if no air moves - you're stuck.

Getting stuck is either the result of being overfilled or having made an eating mistake that you will not soon forget. :thumbup:
