I had my third fill on Monday, I have 7.5mls in a 10ml band. I am not quite sure if I have restriction or not. I definitely feel a difference, before I could eat 2 sandwiches and lots of juice and still snack about an hour later, now I feel I have had enough after one wrap and I feel quite satisfied. I don't feel full but I feel like I have had enough to eat. I definitely feel satisfied for longer, no snacking after half an hour or an hour, but I do feel a bit hungry around 2 or so hours after eating.
This is amazing for me, I am eating less and battling my bad habits (snacking cause i have a craving some chocolate or biscuits). I am just not sure if I have full restriction, i know I definitely have some restriction cause of this great change in the last few days. I wonder if I should have a little more fill in a few weeks time.
What is everyone elses experience of restriction? Is this what it feels like so its just a matter of me getting used to eating like this and finding the will power to not eat till the next meal? Or is it something else?
