3rd time was the charm

I was one of those people who had two fills and could still eat an entire chicken. Last Friday I went for yet another fill and now understand what restriction is. I pb whenever I eat chicken. I am full on 1/2 an english muffin with Protein on it. I am now eating like a normal person. of course, it has been 5 days and I haven't lost any weight but that is OK. I think you have to be really forthcoming with your doctor. I really complained about the lack of restriction and they put in 2 more cc's. Stick with it and continue to go for fills.

I am so happy to hear your post. I just had my second fill last week and I could eat Two chickens.

So I will totally be scheduling for another fill. I can not wait to get to the point I am FULL..

Thanks again for your post...

Good for you! It took me five fills to get restriction, that was a week ago. I can eat a nice healthy sized meal, but I do have to take smaller bites, and chew very carefully.... which isn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be. Lastnight I had 6 oz. of salmon, and about half a cup of green Beans, and left a few bites on my plate. For Breakfast I had two low-fat waffles with sugar-free Syrup and 2 small links of turkey sausage. I think that is more than some people are able to eat but I think it's a good healthy amount, I try to do 1200 calories a day and most days it ends up being around 1100. I'm not usually "full" at the end of a meal but I'm definitely satisfied. It's much more of a learning process than I expected, but it's all good.

Good luck to you!
