I had my first 2cc fill end of July. I wonder if he even hit my port. I don't feel any differene. I cannot stick to 1/2 cup of food 3 times a day. Any of you have suggestions?

I can't exercise because I have a blood clot in my leg, this isn't helping matters.

I feel like I did this for nothing, I thought it would be a tool that controlled my hunger, but it doesn't.

Help!:mad2:

just give it time, however, you may need a fill.

I'm right there with you! I was encouraged the first two days after my first fill because I wasn't as hungry, but since then, I can eat pretty much whatever I want and way more than 3/4 cup of food! My doctor told me beforehand though that it would take 3 or 4 fills to get to that "sweet spot" so I was prepared for this. I'm just doing my best not to gain weight before my next fill (Sept. 2). I've had two pounds I gain and lose but I weigh faithfully every morning. I know some people say this isn't good to do, but it keeps me on target. Luckily, I can exercise and have been sticking with it! I do Water aerobics twice a week (LOVE it) and walk on my tread mill at least three times a week. I am just trying to stick with the foods that I know are high Protein and low calorie and track everything (even when I cheat) on myplate.com. It helps me keep my calorie count down.

I read somewhere that eating Beans helps (high protein and filling) and have been eating at least 1/2 cup of baked beans every lunch and dinner. It does seem to fill me up more and is very satisfying.

Hang in there! This is normal and it will come for us!

I've had 3 fills and can eat anything I want which is WAY too much. I guess I need another fill. Seems I get good restriction for about 2-3 days after a fill, then nothing.:thumbup:

You just need MORE, that's all. No biggie. It's frustrating finding that perfect fill though. I've a year out and I am still not perfect. They say it takes about 1 year (whether its 2 fills or 20) ~ Good Luck!

thanks! I believe I'll call and schedule another fill. Keep your fingers crossed, this will be the ONE:rolleyes2:
