No restriction

[Mands15 8]

I had my op on 9 Feb and have been quite lucky in that I've had very little pain (my shoulder hurt for one day) and minimal discomfort. I started eating soft solids yesterday and am just worried because I felt no different to how I did before the surgery. I ate far far less than I ordinarily would have, but made a concerted effort to do so. I was expecting to feel full or unable to eat anymore after a few bites.. Does this only come after a fill?

Yeah it usually takes a couple of fills before you get to your perfect restriction, be patient as you don't want to end up with it too tight x

Congratulations on your surgery. This is a difficult time where you really have to follow good eating habits while your band is adjusted. It takes up to several fills to get there. I just had my sixth fill two days ago. The good habits must continue, but it gets much easier as your band gets properly adjusted. I agree that too tight is a danger, so it's been small fills for me. Good luck!!

Thank you so much. I'm struggling quite a bit with staying on a healthy eating plan, but hanging in there.

I had my surgery also the 19 and am having the complete opposite problem not hungry at all. Making my self drink Water and Protein Shakes. I keep getting up and walking around my house. I have very little chest pain stomach is still sore and u realized talking to much hurts haha. I emailed my dr about not being hungry and they said that that's normal because things are still swollen. Good luck. We got this
