I can't tell if I am full or not?

I know this is an odd statement but I just got my second fill and my first real restriction and I can't tell when I get a full stomach. I eat a meal and I am so hungry that the full feeling doesn't happen then I over do it and have to make myself throw up. I think I am zeroing in on the amount I can eat but man I guess I am in shock that one cup of solid food is about a 1/3rd to much. I was happy with my first PB because it validated that I had restriction but I just need to get use to it. liquids are fine and most solids are fine when I eat one bite then walk around and come back for a second bite but sitting down and just eating bite after bite is over. I am actually excited to have restriction just looking for reassurance that this is semi normal.

I am on target to go from 279 down to 205 and be there by July 13th which is the day I go on vacation. I am going to do this no doubt.

Measure your food, and write it down. Then as you have to increase to feel full, write that down too, so at some point you will know the amount that causes you to feel that restriction. You don't want to always puke up. You can damage the band.

I can only eat a few bites and I am full. Restriction is different for different people. In my case, to lose I need to eat very little. If you can eat an entire meal of 1 cup, in my opinion that is too much. I would try to consume no more than 1/2 cup of food. Good luck.
