1st Fill...but I have a ?

I just got my first fill yesterday, and I have a couple of dumb questions. I know this sounds weird, but how do you know if you feel restricted? How do I know if i feel full (I know that sounds crazy!). I have been really careful about what I am eating and I was put on soft foods. I was told to only consume a 1/2 cup of food, but I feel as though I can eat more. I do feel a little bit of something in my esophagus, is that what its suppose to do?

Im just not sure if I need to listen more to my body and figure it out, or listen to my head. Just wanting some advice of what other people are feeling after their first fill. :huytsao

Hi, I read a lot of other peoples descriptions on different threads, and that provides a lot of information regarding how a good fill should feel. This is a very frequent question, and lots of info is available, just take some time to read peoples threads.

I didn't feel any different after my 1st fill. I just got my 2nd fill last thursday and I do feel some restriction. Restriction can feel many different ways. For me, I get a tightness in my chest. Once I feel this, I stop because I do not want to PB. I've been lucky so far (knock on wood). I just hope this restriction lasts a while lol.
