I finally got a FILL

[patticNJ 1]

Now I cannot really eat! I finally got my first fill last Tuesday. I figured it would take a few days to get used to eating again, but I just can't seem to get the hang of it. What gives. I love the fact that I 3 oz of food is filling me up, but I cannot stop. I am so used to having ZERO restriction, and eating whatever and how much I want that I don't know when to stop. I also keep drinking when I eat since I was doing that before the fill as well.

How long will it take to get used to this again? It feels like I just had the surgery again, only no pain. Did you all go through this? Should I go in for a small unfill or just try my hardest to get used to it. I went to Applebee's at the mall yesterday and couldn't even finish my Soup, and it took me like a half hour.

And one more ?, I am constantly burping, is this also normal, or even par for hte course? I see most of you are on your 2nd fills. You are all so lucky. I was starving for like 5 weeks and eating everything in site, now i'm dying cause I can't eat at all. It really sucks.

Thanks for letting me bitch!!!!!

I'm not sure if you are too tight or not. I personally had to teach myself t eat normally all over again after my last fill. I have found that if I take a bite, chew it to death, wait a full minute, take another bite, chew it to death, wait another minute, etc that I am able to eat exactly what I need. It is slowing down that is so hard to remember. It has been almost a month since my last fill when I hit the good restriction and took me 2 weeks of getting stuck and frustrated but I am totally satisfied with my 3 meals and almost never get hungry between meals.

If this does not work for you, then you might be too tight and need to get unfilled a bit.
