I have not been filled yet and I'm concerned about how much i am eating

[NYdad 21]

I feel the same as I did before the surgery. I dont notice any signs of being full any sooner. Is this normal?

It's normal to feel little or no restriction until you've had a series of adjustments (fills). However, just because you can eat anything doesn't mean you should.

Use this time, as you work toward restriction, to learn and practice the good habits you'll need when you do have restriction--you'll be glad that you did when you see the results.

What sort of eating regimen does your doctor recommend?

I am struggling with the same problem. I am 5 weeks post op and have to catch myself from falling into old habits. I am trying to train myself to eat the way I will have to once I gain restriction. It is easy? NO! But I am trying and when I fail, I get up and start over. We can do this. Have some faith!

My doc is suggesting I follow the south beach diet.
