Hi,

I am only recently banded (10/27).

I don't have any sensation of restriction. Should I?

I haven't pushed it.....I eat a measured amount of food and stop when it is gone or I feel full. I haven't tried to eat more than what I have weighed/measured.

So far, there aren't any foods I can't eat.

I don't have my first fill until 11/22 (although I may wait a week after that because it is the holiday week and I will be out of town and don't want to worry about having issues with my first fill.)

Most of the time, I feel satisfied when I eat. Now, my "head" may still want me to eat more, but I listen to my body and realize I am not really hungry.

You seem to be doing very well, I say go with the flow!!! I think you are smart to delay your first fill til after TG to avoid problems even though many ppl have no restriction til after their 2nd or 3rd fill. Depends on how your doc does his...aggressively or conservatively. Congratulations and welcome to band land!!!
