I am 5 months post op an d have just gotten my third fill. The restriction is crazy! I can't eat but a few bites of anything. Not even an entire banana. My question is: is this a normal fill or am I too tight? I have lost 4 pounds in a week since the fill.

You are too full, need a slight unfill.

You will know the green zone. If your asking, you are not in it. I feel really tight for a week though and then great. I only go every 3 months now. You have to get your calories in. If you can't do that then you may want a little taken out.

I think you may be right. I am a little tight. It's not a good feeling at all. I could only eat 3 1/2 grilled shrimp for supper and nothing else.

Only you, possibly with advice from your doctor, can know for sure. You don't mention any heartburn/reflux, etc, so I'd suggest maybe giving it several days before you decide, as long as you don't have any issues getting in all your fluids. As another poster said previously about this issue, It may be you just need to get on that CHEW, CHEW train. And really slow down with your eating. Everyone is different, but I need/want the band to provide help with portion control, and IT DOES do that for me...now. I HAVE to slow down and follow what I read long ago, small bites, and chew like crazy.

I am 4 months post op a and I just got my 2 md fill. I definitely feel it this time. I had two shrimp and I was done. It's kinda a nice feeling! My doctor also told me to eat 6 small meals a day instead of three. Good luck! I would wait and see. How you feel!

Daisy I'm also on the 6 small meals a day and it's not easy, these suckers are indeed small.

I do find it easier to do. 3oz chicken is one meal. Amazing.

Cup of food, 1/4 of that should be protein! That's not alot!! But I remember once someone once told me that I ate alot! They weren't trying to be mean but sometimes we need honestly brutal honesty!

suffie

Also do you remember years years ago a happy meal was a meal . A serving size of a French fry was a small fry! Our serving size has just gotten out of control.

check with yoru doctor.

Probably too full, but I couldn't eat an entire banana anyway or that would be all I ate. Get a little taken out.
