Hi everyone , six weeks since my surgery now... I have been able to eat alot more than last week ...I even gained a pound or two....so I did keep my fill appointment today. I received one CC. The doctor told me I may feel I need more -that I should be able to tell in a few days and to come back and he will add more. I am not sure how much I should really be eating again?? Is it one cup three times per day??? Should I not be able to eat one cup after a fill or only a half cup?? I hate to probably be asking about stuff that has been printed hear before ... how many days should I wait to make sure it has kicked in or not??? Thanks

I usually know pretty much right away, but many say they sometimes take a few days to even a few weeks. My doctor tells me that if I have not lost within a couple of weeks, to call and come get another fill. This, however, may not always be the case. If you are taking in too many calories or not exercising or not getting in all the Water. Then it may not be the band's fault at all.

The best test for me is to have solid Protein, such as chicken or fish. I can usually tell much better with something like that than anything else. Go slow..
