When will I start to feel restriction?

Today is my 2 month bandiversary, I've had 2 fills and can go back for another in 2 weeks. I feel like I have hit a plateau and am just wondering if that's normal so early on. I still eat whatever I want, though I really think about what I am eating, so I'm not doing any fast food (except the occasional Subway) or junk food/snacks. I'm full most of the day, I drink my water and take my walks. Should I go back and do shakes for a couple of days to get my body back on track? I know it's a process and it's not a race, but I haven't lost anything in weeks!

Hey Lap2Fab, I am almost at 3 months and feeling similar. I just saw my surgeon today and he recommends that I get my 2nd fill. I'm not starving between meals, but do get a little hungry. I'm not losing much weight, and that's ok, but I'm like you, i want to feel that restriction and the surgeron agreed. He said the "tool" works best when I will be able to eat my 3/4 to 1 cup of food and stay full on that . . .that is the goal. So that's why I decided to schedule another fill. Is that helpful?

Very helpful, I need another fill! Yesterday I made an apple pie and ate a piece that I should not have been able to finish, and I did, with no problem! I was good the rest of the day because I knew I shouldn't have eatten it all! If I had restriction, I wouldn't have been able to eat it!
