MadysMom 3 Posted July 20, 2010 I'm in need of some help. Last Wednesday, I had my 3rd fill. It brought me to 6.75cc in my 10cc band. I've noticed a HUGE difference in the way my food feels when it goes down. I made 2 scrambled eggs this morning and could not get more that a few spoonfuls down without feeling tight. Is that normal? If it is, should I just drink a Protein Shake for Breakfast? I hate those powdery things!! Yesterday afternoon I was only able to eat about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of my lunch and then dinner was about the same. Lunch and dinner both went down okay. I have had no trouble with vomiting, so that makes me wonder if this is what "restriction" is suppose to feel like. I just don't feel like I ever get full, I just feel a pressure that tells me I'll be sorry if I eat another bite! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HappyMom 1 Posted July 20, 2010 Oh I envy you!!!! I have had two fills (the third is scheduled for this afternoon) and I can eat pretty much anything that I want.....and as much as I want! No matter how much I eat I still don't feel full. After my first two fills I felt a little 'tightness'. A few days later my stomach would relax and go back to feeling pretty much nothing. Maybe that is what you are experiencing? Maybe your stomach will relax a little and loosen things up a bit? Either way, you are now able to eat the volume that my dietitian has all along said we were supposed to eat, 1/2 cup of food per meal. I just never believed her since I can scarf down a lot of food if I allowed myself! Either way, I really hope that I reach some sort of restriction after today's fill. I am dying to have some restriction to limit my food intake. Again, I envy you restriction!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadysMom 3 Posted July 20, 2010 Well, I was feeling like I was getting close the last fill I had. Sometimes it's just hard for me to eat. I guess that goes with the program. Morning and afternoon are the hardest for me, once the evening hits it gets better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bambam31 168 Posted August 1, 2010 Pre-band, I was so used to eating until I was stuffed that I didn't know how to recognize when to stop. I now know to stop when I'm "satisfied" not when I'm "full." Brad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
