Just got first fill on Monday

[mzmouse 0]

I guess I'm confused about what I thought restriction would feel like. I eat my four ounces with no problem. I have to remind myself to go slow and chew well, but I haven't felt what I thought was restriction. What I am experiencing is no more hunger, yet not really a fullness or satiety, but just not interested in any more food. Then I stay hunger-free. Today, I forgot about lunch because I didn't get hungry. Since I'm restricted to three four ounce meals and no Snacks, I will have to make sure to shedule eating. I was really worried about things getting stuck or PBing and I'm just kind of surprised. Please don't get me wrong, I am not complaining in any way but just wondering if I am in a "normal" category??

I just got my 1st fill today as well. i got 4 cc's. I feel the same way as you. Although I am being careful when I eat. I did feel fuller a little faster today though. I guess it's good that were not getting anything stuck and that were not having any trouble getting stuff down.

I got my first fill today and I had food get stuck twice and OUCH did it hurt!!! I just slowed down and chewed my food more and kept on eating. I never felt that "full" feeling or any kind of restriction but I just stopped myself from eating.

I know its only been a few hours since I had my first fill, but I was expecting to feel satisfied after a few bites. I hope that maybe my restriction will show up at some point.

Yea, I had my fill yesterday...4.5cc's and I did liquids the rest of yesterday and this morning just to be safe. I don't feel a lot of restriction either, but like the rest of you I do NOT want to PB or worse, throw up anything if I can help it. I am just planning on eating smaller meals that have good passing consistency for the next few days.

PBing, is 'productive burping'....which happens when you go past the threshold of what you can take in after you have been banded as a burp that brings stuff back up, that is not exactly the same as vomiting.

Sadly with 4.5 I still feel relatively no restriction, and it does nothing for my hunger :thumbup:

I also just had my first fill, 3 cc in a 14 cc band. The doc told me to stick with pureed foods for a couple of days, but I ate some really soft fish and mashed potatoes for dinner today and felt no restriction. I hear it can take more than one fill, so I will just track my calories and Protein and plod on.
