Frustrated

Hello, I had my band on 11/05/09. I had my first fill on 12/02/09 with 3cc. I am hungy in the am, not able to get to that sense of fullness and able to eat same amount of food as before the band. The first two weeks after the band I felt the best restriction and lost 11 pound. Unsure what I am doing wrong? My next fill is not until 11/25/09. Any advise anyone?:thumbup:

Are you drinking while your eatting? If your not feeling full I would move my appt up and get in sooner. Have him take all the fluid out to see how much is in there. This can see if there is a leak. Then he can just fill you back up again. You date for your next fill is already outta date you may need to edit it.

I had my surgery 2 days before you and my first fill 3 weeks later. I was also filled to 3cc's, and I also don't feel much restriction. I was told that this is normal and most don't feel restriction until the 2nd fill. I don't eat as much as I used too but I can eat anything I want.... big problem. I haven't gained any weight but I haven't lost any either. I plan on waiting until after the holidays for my second fill. I am trying to behave, but it's not easy. I did so well prior to surgery and after, but have not done so well since my 1st fill. I wish you luck.
