Where did my restriction go?

[spoiltmom 44]

I got my first fill a few weeks ago. I was doing great. I was getting full on a cup of food 3 times a day.

Now the past few days I'm starving and I can eat way more than a cup and don't feel anywhere near full.

My next fill is next week. Is this normal?

Yes, its normal.

That's why you need to keep getting fills. That's how the band works.

Thank you for that link! I just didn't think I would lose restriction so quickly!

I've lost almost 10 pounds since my last fill.

I'll get my first fill in 2 weeks...How long did your 1st feel last before you felt it was gone?

Hmm It was super for about 2 1/2 weeks. I just have to make it till Tuesday and then I'll get more.

I've had two fills so far and have had similar results to you. Good restriction for the first couple of weeks and then it wears off a little.

Its perfectly normal.

You just need to be on guard when the restriction is not as strong and be extra careful about what you are eating.

Its completely normal to lose restriction fast with first fills, it happens less fast as you get closer to your ideal restriction.
