Two Months Out

[Spicy 0]

I am still trying to figure out how to work around this site. I want to say Hello to everyone, I am really anxious about this hole LB experience. So far everything is going smoothly, but I still feel like I have a large appetite.

How many LB users only eat a 1/2 to 1 cup for each meal? Do I need to look into getting another fill?

I'm just a little shy of two months out from being banded and much to my dismay I don't go for my first fill till the 10th.

I think people would ask when did you get your first fill and how is your appetite now. I know I am absolutely ready for my fill as I have quite a bit of an appetite. I have been doing ok though. I try really really hard to fight the temptation. I know its tough though.

Even though I am not a senior bandster, I would say that if you are really struggling with controlling your portion size because you feel hungry, then make an appointment with the doctor.

Congratulations and welcome to LBT!

I can barely get down 3 1/2 cup meals a day and feel peachy!!!! But the first month until my first fill I had absolutley no restriction and very little restriction after my first fill. I did have a fill that put me a little too tight where I couldnt even get liquids down, had them take a little out and Im all good. And boy if I try to push just even one extra bite my body is all about telling me to knock it off!

It is important to remember that sometimes it takes as many as three fills before you reach proper restriction. But, once you do you will know it and will see the weight start coming off. How long has it been since your last fill? Personally, I think it is better to go with small fills until you reach proper restriction, as opposed to having one big one and risk being overfilled. Believe me, that is not a pleasant experience!
