I had my third fill on Monday, I have 7.5mls in a 10ml band. I am not quite sure if I have restriction or not. I definitely feel a difference, before I could eat 2 sandwiches and lots of juice and still snack about an hour later, now I feel I have had enough after one wrap and I feel quite satisfied. I don't feel full but I feel like I have had enough to eat. I definitely feel satisfied for longer, no snacking after half an hour or an hour, but I do feel a bit hungry around 2 or so hours after eating.

This is amazing for me, I am eating less and battling my bad habits (snacking cause i have a craving some chocolate or biscuits). I am just not sure if I have full restriction, i know I definitely have some restriction cause of this great change in the last few days. I wonder if I should have a little more fill in a few weeks time.

What is everyone elses experience of restriction? Is this what it feels like so its just a matter of me getting used to eating like this and finding the will power to not eat till the next meal? Or is it something else?

Thanks for the words of wisdom. I think this journey is as much about mentally getting over eating like a big person as it is recoginising when you have had enough. I'm an emotional eater, eat when I'm happy, eat when i'm sad, excited, up , down, whatever. Even with the band I am sure I can still eat during these times so thats something to work on.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
