is what I'm feeling restriction?

[feelfat 1]

Hey fellow Bandsters.

I hope you are all doing well.

My surgery was almost 2 weeks ago. I do feel great, it took me a lil over a week to recover and now its as if I never had surgery.

When my band was placed my surgeon filled it with 2cc.

Yesterday I had my esophogram, drank Barium(wasn't as bad as ppl described it). Everything looked great, so I got the green light to start mushies. Its all going down well, and I get satisfied much much faster then b4 surgery.

I ate 1 and half scrambled egg with a little cooked squash, more than 4 hours ago and I am still as satisfied as if I just ate. Its great. In my pre band times, I would've eaten already again a few times in this amount of time.

Its great to not feel hungry. I'm an emotional eater. And now that I'm satisfied with the little that I eat i cant turn to food, so I am forced to deal with it in other ways. It's great. I got aware of it today. Its such a great feeling.

Anyways, back to the point.

Is what I'm feeling restriction???

Some of it may still be swelling..I just got my appetite back this week after the swelling went away and each day I have found Im eating a little more.

It also depends on what I eat too, I was getting full on one pack of oatmeal then I added an egg white now its 2 egg whites. Hope you are having restriction from the 2 cc's, only time will tell.

I had post op restriction as well- it was wonderful while it lasted. It went away about 2 months out- I has my third fill last week and now I have a different type of restriction.... not sure what it is supposed to feel like but as long as it helps you control your portions and keeps you satisfied then enjoy it
