My last fill was 4.6 cc in a 10 cc band, two weeks ago. Since then, I've lost maybe 3 lbs which is fine...but now I'm beginning to feel a little more of an appetite coming on throughout the day. I've been eating my Protein (about 60 grams a day) and veggies like I'm suppose to ( Water in between meals too) but I feel like I can eat larger portions before feeling full.

What can I do to help fight the urge to over eat (larger portions) until my next fill ??

I feel like I'm doing everything right but not feeling the restriction like I use to.

Thanks

Maybe u need a little more fill, i would go back to the doctor and tell him .. i know i am able to go back for a fill when i i feel i need to .. doctors dont always get the amount of fill right, sometimes its too much sometimes its too little .. the only thing i would say is that sometimes it can be about 3 weeks before i feel the full effects of a fill so maybe wait another week and see, if u still feel the same then go and get a little more.. no point in struggling on when there is no need

Thanks for commenting and for your advice. I thought maybe a little "tweek" on a fill would do the trick --- I did make an appointment for next week. Again, thanks!

good luck and i hope this time u feel it more

This is part of the process and you'll hear it often from this group. I would experience the same thing for at least 3 of my first fills. I would be "great! restriction!" only to be hungry again the next week.

Just be sure to partner with your doctors. My NP has an open door policy and if she doesn't fill me does let me call at anytime if I think I need an adjustment before the next the appointment.

You'll get there. It just takes a little time!
