1st fill, hungry.

[journey2befit 8]

Hello everyone,

I had my first fill on the 16th of this month and it was 1.5cc. At first I felt a huge amount of restriction but now I find myself being able to eat a little more. I'm mainly eating twice a day and healthy Snacks in between. Is this normal or is something wrong? I go in for my next fill next month on the 12th.

I was the same way! After my first 3 fills I couldn't see any difference. I am just now getting good restriction after I believe my 5th fill. I have 6.5 in a 14 CC band. It should get better with each one.

Oh wow. Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one this is happening too lol. I feel like I can handle more food now and it's making me think something is wrong with my lapband..I wonder how much the second fill will be next month.

I honestly thought the same thing. I thought something was wrong with my band and I was always wondering if I did something wrong. I think you are on the right path it just takes a while to get there. I had surgery 10/30/16 and I am just getting to where I need to be. When did you have surgery?

It keeps throwing me off and messing with my emotions lol. I had surgery February 10th and I've lost 16 pounds but now I'm at a complete standstill. I didn't listen to the after care too much and ended up eating solids a little too soon but my doctor said that was ok. I just don't know really know anymore... it's frustrating
