Filling Like Filling Up My Band~~~

oK, so I am 4 months post op, down 40 pounds. Been stuck recently..never really feel satified...never had more than 5cc in my 10 cc band. I would love to test drive 6-7 or more cc..but pratice looks at how slow the the liquids move through my xray as a determination. Thoughts out there? I really want to fill her up.

    How long after surgery do I have to wait to get first fill?

    I feel like I could eat way more than I am suppose to.

    My surgery was 7/12/12. My first fill is on 8/13/12, four weeks post op surgery. I'm on the liquid diet for 2 weeks. It is hard because I am staying hungry also. The doctor told me to drink 4 protein drinks daily instead of 3. I will be glad when I learn how to do everything right. I have lost a few pounds though. I'm happy about that anyway.

    My dr did my first fill 4 weeks post op. Some do 6 weeks. I know that some folks say it takes a while to determine your green zone...I guess 4-5 months out, I am still not in the zone...will be having a real conversation with my Dr next week to fill her up!
