How many fills does it take to get full?

Kacee can you describe what it feels like for you, how do you know you are at perfect restriction? I know it is different for everyone, but I am just trying to get a feel for what to expect. I have had 1 fill so far, I have some restriction, not much but enough that I wouldn't try to eat for example a tuna fish sandwich instead of just the tuna fish. I go for my second fill on Friday and am just wondering what to expect with the next fills.

I had my first fill 5 days ago and still feel restriction. For my restriction seems to mean that I stay full longer. Pre-fill I would eat about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of food at a time and be hungry in 2 hours then drink lots of fluids to tame my hunger. Post-fill I'm really struggling to get in calories because I am just not hungry. So I'm sipping on a protien shakes all day and eating one meal. I don't feel as restricted as I did the first week post-op, but I've heard that I'll never feel that restricted again (thank god- as it was hard to even sip water). My band is 25% full, 1cc in a 4cc band.

Hey you all, I am feeling jealous that I am not banded yet. I can't wait.

Well this is my second fill and I have gained 6lbs , so I would be satisfied with one lbs a week. The dr. said to be pateint. But it gets hard at times.
