Was starting to worry-but I think..I have a bit if RESTRICTION!

Hey gang! If THATS what it feels like, then it's indeed heaven! It's a very interesting feeling to know you need to eat, (for caloric sake-so the body doesn't go into starve mode..) but also to NOT feel hungry! WHOA. I got my first fill last Tuesday(2.7 cc's..), but really didn't feel any different. Does the "restricted" feeling creep on you? Because I did think of calling surgeon to voice my continuing hunger concerns. Also, I hade my FIRST piece of whole-wheat(eaten in the smallest bites humanly possible..lol..)bread with my egg whites and salmon today. And I must say-I feel great! I just had a MM light for Protein sake-but to not feel hungry is just, well.. fabulous!...

I did not get any restriction until my 3rd fill, but some people get it right away. It does feel great to not be starving all the time and to actually be satisfied when eating a small meal. We do only need a meal the size of our fist, yet we tend to eat 4 times that amount. LOL

I love whole wheat bread and as long as i chew it up well and take little bites, i am fine with it. i am still working on not drinking with my meals, that is the hard one to break the habit. Sounds like you are getting some restriction and that is great. Good luck to you and your new journey

Happy for you! I was banded on august 2nd and I think I may be one of the lucky ones that has restriction without a fill. Were you hungry when you were on liquids? I drink about 1-1 1/2 cups of liquid and then I'm "full" for 3-4 hrs. I'm suppose to start solids on Tuesday.
