First Fill, Now At 4Cc's And Doing Well...i Guess?

[Sarahbear0429 25]

Hi guys! I had my first fill Fri the 6th by a different doc than performed surgery. I had 2 cc's put in during surgery, which I guess explains the bread getting stuck issue from the get go. She added 2 more cc's Fri for a total of 4. I do notice getting full on smaller portions (protein always first) and I can eat a cup to a cup and a half? Does that seem right? I've heard some ppl get full on a few bites.

I haven't got a ton of info on nutrition besides Protein first, if still hungry then veggies/fruits, and LAST carbs/starches. I rarely make it past the protein. If so, maybe 3 bites of a side dish.

I do seem to get full sooner, but am hungry more often...say every 3 hrs. Usually I swig some Water or Crystal Light and it goes away for a while. I'd like to go a little longer between meals, maybe on the next fill. I also serm tighter in the morn, replacing Breakfast with a proteon shake. Usually half abt 8, and the other 1/2 a couple hrs later. So...does this seem fairly normal (whatever that is...lol)? I don't have anyone to compare to, so I was hoping for a little feedback here. Thanks!

You sound like you are right on track! With a bit more restriction you will be able to go for longer periods without being hungry. I used to drink lots of Water to get me through the hungry periods. I rarely get hungry these days. I eat to get my Protein in!

I have had 4 fills, and am finally feeling good restriction. Your stomach/body needs time to adjust to the fill, some people dont feel any restriction until 5 or 6 fills, so if you are feeling some restriction after just one, you may be right where u want to be. The hunger will start to go away in time as well. Good luck!
