Hi,

I just had my second fill. I now have 7.25 cc in 11 cc band. How do you know you are restricted enough? I can still eat pretty much a whole sandwhich/wrap. This fill has made a difference overall though. I do get full faster. And how do you know if you are stretching your pouch? Im still learning all this stuff.

Thank You for any input anyone might have.

You should be able to eat no more than 5-6 oz at your meals. If you stick to that, then you won't stretch your pouch. If you can stay full for at least 4-5 hours in between meals, then you are tight enough. There is no shut off valve. You still have to be aware of how much you are eating and stop eating after that amount. Even if you FEEL that you are still hungry, chance are you are just listening to your head hunger. Your mind will tell you that you are still hungry even though you aren't.
