Normal. I find that happens a lot and it means it's time for a fill. I get fills every 4 weeks. The way the doctor explained it to me is that you lose weight around your stomach muscle therefore you stomach's belt (lapband) needs to be tightened again.
Just don't go over you cup of food and stick it out until your next fill, if that is to far away call the doctors office and get it moved up. It may also help to eat more high Protein and high Fiber foods right now to help you stay full longer.

You know, I got on this site hoping to get answers from people just like me but instead of feeling comfortable, I am afraid of being honest or feeling like I am going to be judged if I make a mistake, ask a stupid question or make a comment about my experience so far with the band. Let's take this post for example, she says she is happy she got stuck and people act like she has lost her mind instead of educating her in a nicer way. She said she was eating tacos and she is made to feel like she committed a sin. She says she is going 70mph and suddenly the post is fake. Let's get real, if we are on here is because we all overate, ate the wrong things more frequently than not and probably didn't do much exercise so to make someone feel bad about their choices or comments is pretty hypocritical to me. It's not what you say more than how you deliver your message.
We are here to motivate and support each other not repremand or judge each other.

I'm so glad I read this because I feel the same way. I'm 6 weeks in and can eat like normal even after my first fill. I hope to notice a difference soon. I feel bad about it. If it were that easy to make the right choices or limit what you eat then none of us would be in this forum. You are my silver lining in this gray cloud. Good luck to all of us.

I'm from Miami and got the band done 6 weeks ago. I got my first filling this Thursday however, I can eat just as much as before. I have anxiety and it makes me wanna eat so that's what I do. I've suffered from anxiety all my life and figure this would help. So far I feel discouraged. I haven't started working out yet because I have been working 60 hr weeks so I'm exhausted. Also, I'm guilty of making poor foods choices. Anyone have any pointers? I have to make this work.
