Got my 2nd fill yesterday

I got my second fill yesterday. I keep waiting to feel a restriction, but yesterday was liquids, and today mushies. So tomorrow should be the test to see. As for now, I feel the same, she only put in 1 cc, so between my last and today I have a total of 4. I just hope by the next fill I will feel something. As for my oatmeal breakfast this morning, I didn't feel anything or any difference than before(no restriction feeling). I tell you that honestly, I am getting frustrated. I am glad I didn't gain any weight b/c I have been waking up at 3 or 4 a.m. ravenous, starving, physically hungry so I grab a yogurt or fruit. This is annoying and confusing b/c it interrupts my sleep and second it shouldn't be waking me up. My weight has maintained, no loss :unsure: , which I am glad I did not gain that is great. But my patience is wearing thin :( , I swim, I walk, I watch what I eat, I eat smaller meals, I am killing my fruits and veggies, blah blah blah. Hopefully by next month we shall see a difference, something heck at this point 1/2 to 1 lb a week would put me over the moon. I quit my crutch of leaning on a protein shake at least once a day like the nutritionist said, but I might try this every other day b/c I seemed to do better with it. I am reaping the rewards of everyone gardening, I received some beautiful broccoli and summer squash, now I am waiting on the tomatoes :wub: . So as for now, still waiting, still pushing on.

That sounds quite discouraging! Hopefully you will start losing weight all of a sudden. I have not had the procedure yet, but I hear a few people stating that they don't feel a restriction. Others say that you have to find your "green zone" before it is 100% effective. Hopefully it gets better for you, because that's the purpose of us banding - to feel restriction.
