Hoping for the green zone soon! I got my first fill on Jan. 27th and went from a small feeling of restriction to zero restriction. It seems like the fill took me backwards. I'm hoping my second fill March 2nd will get me closer to the green zone. I made the mistake of being transparent about the procedure and now I'm slightly embarrassed that the weight is not coming off and that I can eat normally. I need restriction which is why I got the band - to help. Thanks to everyone for sharing that it may take up to 5 months. Hate to hear that, but at least I know it's not just me and that it's the process. I do get on the scale every other day. I'm fluctuating between 12 and 16 pounds post-surgery Dec. 16th.

I'm in the same boat as you. I had my band on the 16th of December. Waiting for my first fill on the 8th. I have no limitations with the band and mentally apparently. Can't wait to get the fill to give me some sense of restraint. If I could control my portions on my own, then I would not have gone through surgery. I am anxious for the band to begin to assist because I truly had more to eat than I would have liked two weeks out. I can say I stuck to the liquid diet for week one but went straight into solids full throttle during week 2. I did not eat as much as I would have normally for the holidays but more than I would have liked.
