I'm heading off in a few minutes to get my 3rd fill in 5 weeks. Does that sound like too soon? My first was 2.5cc, then I was scheduled for 4 weeks later, but got in 1 week earlier because I needed it and that was 1cc, then I called yesterday to ask how soon after the second I could have another. Luckily my doctor said that I could come in today, two weeks earlier to have another. I hope he puts at least 1cc in if not more. All this talk about 1/2-1 cup of food each meal makes me laugh. I wish I was satisfied on that. I am doing no carbs so I am basically doing a chicken and beef diet with the occasional salad and Soup. I want to know what it feels like to be full and happy on a meager cup of food.

Well my doctor says a two week minimum between fills so if you had at least that between fills than you should be okay. My fills were, 4,2,1 so total of 7cc's. I also don't have restriction. I measure all my protein at 3 oz. and have an oz or two of veggies. I am loosing less weight now than I was presurgery (on my own diet not a liquid diet). Having a fill tomorrow really hoping for some restriction. I measure my food and when I'm done no seconds.

I just had my first fill yesterday. I now have 3 cc in my band. I go back in 2 weeks for another fill. Then I will be seen once a month, for at least 6 months. My surgeon said if I go 2 weeks, following my meal plan etc, and do not lose weight, it is time to get in for a fill.

I am not sure I have much restriction yet. I do feel much more satisfied for a longer time period. So I guess that is restriction
