I am scheduled for my first fill in a few days, but these last few weeks it feels like I can eat anything and everything. Definitely not as much as I could eat before the band but a lot more than what I was advised to eat, 4-6 oz per meal. I was told to stop eating when I feel 'full' but there are days where I just don't know if I'm actually full yet.

I know once I get my first fill this will change, but since I'm currently unfilled, will eating a little more than what was recommended damage anything? Band slipping, pouch stretching?

Also, I noticed there are times I forget that I have to chew chew chew and I accidentally swallow a large bite, but I don't feel any effects. I get afraid I'm at least going to feel pain, but nothing..

I am very careful about what I eat and how I eat it, but I eat until I'm full. I just had my first fill last week and have had no problems with food sticking yet, even though I've had a couple of accidental big bites. The first fill helped, but I'm not satiated by 1/2 a cup of food yet, so I might eat a full cup and hope it lasts. If it doesn't, I will snack on something. I do go hungry at times, but not to the point where I'm miserable, and I don't think that's expected.

I had my first fill on July 22 and I feel nothing. I think I could eat as much as I want, I never feel full. I am still losing weight bc I stick to the protein rules and I sometimes go hungry!!
