Plevy, I got my first fill on 8/19 (3 ccs in 8 cc band) and have no restriction whatsoever so I have schedueld a second fill for 9/2.

My problem is I think I have no restriction even after my first fill. I have never had a problem eating anything yet. I am not on any red meat yet, but I think I could even eat that. How many fills does it take to reach the point where you actually feel the restriction? I still get hungry also. Is anyone going through this?

It took about 3 fills for me also. Hang in there...your day is coming!

Hi, I am 25 day s out from banding and still have port pain and can eat whatever. Im still sleeping on my back because the fronta nd sides hurt. I am back to work part time but it kicks my butt. It is taking longer than i thought to recover but i am getting better. I just eat whats on the list but i know i could eat more , i hope that changes when i get a fill.

Help--I don't think I have any restriction at all. Have not had trouble eating anything so far. I am 16 days from surgery. Haven't had any meats yet. I feel I may be eating too much. My next appt for my first fill is 4 weeks away. Anybody in the same situation?

Also how long does it take before the feeling that your insides are going to fall out in bed and when you sit too long goes away. I'm still awfully sore. Thanks for the replies---

Well, I've had two fills and the next one is next Monday. Still feel like I have no restriction. I keep waiting to feel the point where I can't eat anymore, but it is just willpower that makes me quit. I am losing weight, but feel I need some more help. How many cc's did you all receive for each fill?

i buy better than eggs, and scramblethem. they break up into really nice small size pieces which are easy to chew and get down. Maybe that would be a good suggestion plus great source of protien i add fat free cheese, and diced meats such as turkey, to them to increase the protien. Only thing Ive had stuck is gum please dont ask lol. never chew it again ever.. but ive been making sure with my food to take very small bites and ensure its pretty much liquid before im swallowing. My jaw gets awful sore during eating.
