I am so discouraged this morning... No restriction!! So afraid I am going to gain the 28 lbs back that I have lost. It's been 4 months since surgery. Called my doctor to see if maybe I can get a fill early since I feel no restriction and he said I have to wait the full 4 weeks before a fill. Will I ever feel restriction???

Lady VS, Thanks this helps a lot... Today I had a cup of coffee for breakfast and egg, two pieces of bacon, and toast. This was a late breakfast. Then for supper I had a piece of meat, a spoon full of potatoes, and green been, and corn. I feel like I have over eat today so maybe I need to start measuring. Thanks for you help!???? I am just new at this. Do u mind telling me how many cc's u have in your band?

Lady VS, could u give me a example of your meal plan for a day??

A cup how many times a day???

Thanks!!! I guess I just got worried that maybe he had poked a hole in my port since he had trouble getting to my port and I didn't feel restriction.

I had my lap band surgery in November... My doctor tells me I have a total of 5cc's in a 14 cc band. I feel no restriction. I can eat a lot at a time and get hungary in between meals. Sometimes I worry that I have stretched my pouch out or my band has slipped. Is this possible? I have received two fills. Each time I have gone to my doctor to get my fills he has had trouble finding my port. Stuck me three times the first visit and twice on the second visit. I have continued to loose weight and haven't gained yet. With no restriction I feel I could easily gain weight. I can take a large glass if water and drink it in big gulps and it goes down fine... Any suggestions?? Am I just worried to much?

2muchfun, Thanks... I am just waiting for restriction.. And with 5cc's in my band you would think I would already feel that... Just don't want to stretch my pouch out.. It takes a lot to feel me up and then I am Hungary again after 2-3 hours!!!

2muchfun, how many cc's do you have in your band? Is it a 14cc band?

I am a little nervous. I was banded in November and have had two fills... Doctor says I have a total of 5 cc's in a 14 cc band. I feel I can still eat to much. Is this normal????
