Eating like normal

I've been banded 3weeks & I've had an adjustment (3.5cc in band) My dietician says stick to 1000-1200 calories a day. I get in exercise & I track my intake, take vitamins, etc. But I'm able to eat the calories & it seems to be more then 1 cup of food @ a Time & it doesn't keep me full 5hrs or longer. I'm getting a lot of protein. But I'm afraid I'm not gonna drop any pounds. What can I do? Should I get another fill? My only restriction is bread. Other then that I can have whatever thus far.

No problem. Glad I could help.

sometimes its takes 2 weeks OR MORE before you actually feel the effects of a fill - i know it sounds crazy but its true ... you go on eating whatever you want then one day out of nowhere you realize you have more restriction. search the threads and you will see tons of posts about it.
