First Fill Yesterday

Ok, i had my first fill on Tuesday but im not feeling anything different. Is it supposed to feel different right away or a few days later? I called my doc today & told him I didnt think the fill was enough & that i wanted more. He said that it will take 2-3 days for me to notice anything cuz my body has to get used to it & adjust to it. He also told me that i have to do clear liquids for the next 2-3 days. Apparently i have a 10cc bag & had .5 cc put in at surgery & yesterday i had 2cc put in. He told me that if i dont notice anything different by Monday that i can go back for more. Is this the norm? I mean does it usually work the first fill? I know everyone is different. I'm hungry!!!! Man i should've had that Busch's Fried Chicken, fried livers & gizzards before my surgery!lol My port area is still sore too. I'm fine laying on my side but sometimes i wake up & i'm sleeping on my belly & it feels so uncomfortable. So, im just curious how this is gonna do for me over the next couple of days. I'm hoping that this fill worked & i will feel some restriction!

Well I had my first fill on Tuesday. I already had 3 cc's from surgery and the doc added 1 more so I have 4cc's now. I haven't really noticed a difference. I can still eat just fine and take all my meds with no problems. I'm eating less but I'm not sure if that's the band or if I'm just not as hungry the past few days.

I went back to liquids for 2 days and I always seem to be less hungry after coming off liquids. Not sure why but I just am.

Yes, it's perfectly normal not to feel restriction after the first fill. It took me 3 fills to get restriction.
