I have a quick question for some experienced "bandees" out there. I got a 3cc fill on September 1 and I don't feel restricted at all. I am very careful with what I eat and exercise faithfully, but I can eat A LOT! I am not really complaining as my scale was down 2 pounds this morning, but I am wondering if the first fill is not a real representation of what a restriction feels like. The only thing that gives me any problems is bread, so I have eliminated any bread from my diet.
I guess I should be happy that I am doing this mostly on my own. I just thought I would be getting used to a "full feeling" by now. I have a fill scheduled for the middle of October, I will probably regret wanting to really feel restricted......

You probably won't feel any restriction until your 3rd or 4th fill. I had my second fill today and I honestly don't feel a thing but my doctor and alot of other people that have been banded longer then I have say that fill #3 or 4 will be the one.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle. I feel silly for being so impatient to feel restricted!!
