I know it is normal to not feel any restriction

with the first fill but I really wish I was one of those people that felt *something*. I am losing because of I am dieting, not because of restriction. I am worried that because I am losing weight they wont believe that I do not feel restriction. I can only go so long eating 800-1200 calories a day feeling hungry. I had my first fill on Wednesday and today was my first day of had food. I stop eating when I no longer feel hungry but before I am full. I was told my second fill would be 2-4 weeks after the first. I tis going to bea LONG 2 weeks.

I can totally sympathize with you! I had an unfill in Dec and just got my second fill ... going back up. Like you, I've been almost 2 months "white knuckling" it just going on willpower!!! It sucks! I just got my second fill up to 2.3 on Monday and it really didn't help. I, too, and counting the days (10) until I can go back for another fill. In fact, today, I just ate...said screw it... and even tho I didn't work toward my dieting goal, I just ate. Tomorrow will be another day! Like you, I've lost weight, but I'm going to be easier on myself until I get up to a fill where I feel restriction. I think you are doing great and just have to cut yourself some slack until you get filled up. 800-1200 is virtually impossible longterm when you don't have no restriction. I exercise 1 hour of cardio a day to burn about 800 cals so I can actually eat closer to 1600 a day. It makes it a lot easier. Be kind to yourself and count the days until your third fill!!! Go back in the 2 week timeframe, in my opinion!

Good luck!
