Hello All- I had my lapband done on jan 3rd and i am having my first fill february 2nd (happenes to be my birthday :-( )... oh well. The last week since i have been on solids, i feel like i am eating more than i should. my doctor told me to eat until i am not hungry anymore but i dont know if i am going over board with it.

After my first fill, will i have more restriction?

Did your doctor put any fill in during surgery? If not once your swelling from surgery goes down there really is no difference in you stomach now than there was before surgery. My doctor said to have 3 oz of solid Protein and to have veggies and some starches. He did'nt specify how many though.

Regarding the fill; it's really nothing. My doctor does'nt even give a numbing shot. 10 seconds and done. My first fill was 4 CCs which I was worried about because I did'nt want to be too tight. Yeah Right. Anyway. When I stood up from the table I felt this odd constriction in my stomach area. Clearly the fill moving in the band! Odd. Did'nt hurt just felt weird. I mentioned it to the nurse and she said occationally people make that observation.

Yes you should have more restriction, however everyone is different, its mostly about refocusing what you are eating during these first few months.
