I can eat

So I'm pretty sure I need a fill... Only 3 weeks out. I'm able to eat more than 1 cup (though I try not to) while still being hungry/not completely satisfied.

What are you eating?

At three weeks out I'm assuming you are on a mashed diet? If so it is not intended to fill you up, only to be gentle on the stoma while your stomach continues to heal. Only when you are on complete solids will you really know if you need a fill, until then unfortunately you will have to keep track of what you are eating and try to stay fill will drinking as much calorie free liquids as possible all day long.

at 3 weeks post op I'm not sure if you should get a fill or not.. My surgeon would not do a fill until 6 weeks post op and then it was another few weeks after that for me.. I was losing at a sufficient pace and did not feel hungry in between my meals so he waited..I found that drinking helped me .. sometimes it is more head hunger than real hunger... of course as always you go with with your Dr. recommends...Good Luck.
