still eating after fill

[DaniRae 0]

I had my first fill yesterday the 17th Nov, 5ml in a 11ml band but i am not feeling any different. Should i be feeling normal to eating as i was before the banding??

Though i did feel the band tighten and if i eat and lay down i feel sick but i dont know, does it mean i need more fill or am i just a bad person???

Anyone able to shed light on this for me please

Cheers:frown:

My tip (other than in the other post) is not to lay down while eating! You shouldn't feel restriction until you start eating. Then you should feel full fairly quickly. You shouldn't notice the restriction just walking around going about your daily life. I'm sure you're not a bad person!

Work on that self esteem issue!!!!! Of course you are not a bad person, silly!!!! It is rare for 1 fill to give real restriction. The fact that you can feel a little difference is excellent. Watch your diet and exercise and be patient with yourself til your next fill.

Turn that frown upside down..:redface:..You are NOT a bad person!

To repeat what the others have said, what you're experiencing is perfectly normal. It sometimes takes several fills to get good restriction. Don't get discouraged. My personal belief is that it's better to coast your way into proper restriction. Also, you may find that you have good restriction that fades. As you lose weight, you're losing fat around your stomach, which causes the band to naturally loosen. As you're getting closer to your goal weight, very small adjustments may be all you need. Good luck, and cheer up!!
