Got myfirst fill and still hungry

I got my first fill Thursday and I waited 48 hours to eat normal foods. I was on the go last night and picked up some chili from Wendys thinking that would be the best bet since I could chew it up real well ( pretty new to the massive chewing and trying to get used to the prosess). I also picked up 5 nuggets thinking since I was driving it may fill me up after 2 or 3. Well nothing, I ate all the nuggets and all the chili when I got home and was still hungry. I know that the first fill always doesnt work. I asked my doctor and he said he put 3cc's in. I drank some Water and I knew it was going down slow. I thought that was it. I know my band is a big one and can hold 15cc's. My question is what now? Do I wait till my next Dr appointment to get another fill or call and get more in when they open on Monday? Another thing is that my doctor will be out of the counrty and gave me a list of other Doctors I could see if I was having trouble. Pretty much if it was too tight. So should I call them and get another fill. I just dont know if you wait between fills? Or do you keep going back till you hit this sweet spot I hear people talk about? I'm just ready to get this ball rolling and start losing. Thanks

How long will your doctor be out of the country for? Seems like most surgeons require 2 weeks in between fills. YES, people do get a fill that doesn't seem to "kick in" for 12, 13 days.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
