First fill next week

I was banded on 10/12/16 and will have my first fill on Tuesday 10/15/16 by the surgeon using a florascope. How will I know when I am in the green spot / sweet spot as I begin to get my fills? How much weight loss can I expect per week once in the sweet spot? Thank you.

      Your surgeon should have a chart on how you should feel, when you are at the right spot with your fills. In general, you will fill up on small portions and not be hungry again until the next meal time

    @@weneebug I hope you do, I know everyone is different. I'm not losing any weight and I go up and down a pound or two but never get passed it. I'm hoping next fill is better. I feel that I can eat whatever I want and that is probably why I'm not losing any weight.
