So I just got my first fill last Friday I’m currently at 3cc. I don’t think it helped at all! I feel like I’m hungrier now than before, can this really be happening?! I ate a whole Jimmy Johns sandwich two days after the fill (I wasn’t testing it out … I was just that hungry!!)

You obviously haven't gotten any restriction yet...your next fill you will have to be careful and cut back or you will get stuck. I feel pretty confident you will finally experience the band with your next fill. I got 3cc and then 4 wks later got 1.5cc and started to have restriction and I have to be very careful.

Best wishes, Mimi

Yea you just gotta be careful! Just watch your calories, make sure you eat filling protein rich foods.

I have been doing very conservative fills...I only had 1cc until today. My doctor was so surprised I actually lost another 5 lbs because I virtually had no restriction in my 14cc size band. He told me that he would have guessed that I would have gained since I had no trouble eating anything I wanted.

But I'm learning portion control and the band is giving me willpower to choose food wisely. I love that I can eat my favorite foods and not worry about getting stuck. I want to eat like a thin, healthy person so when my body is that size, my brain will already be trained! Also, I'm worried about sagging skin so I'm hoping by taking pounds off slowly will help me not sag!

Good luck to everyone.

Good thinking! Congrats on realizing it's a head game as well.
