I just recently had a fill of 2cc's and had no restriction. My doctor said to come back in if I was hungry and he then added another 1cc, two days later. I feel the restriction finally, but am uncomfortable eating especially in the morning. As the day wears on, I am able to eat a little better. I feel discomfort in my chest (although I am eating small amounts extremely slow) like it is stuck, although it is not stuck. Anyone else feel like this? I am also just starting to realize the foods that I can't eat even though I have chewed and chewed....

Oh, yes, I was the same way as you. There is a big difference between 2cc's and 3cc's. The fill to 3 cc's really kicked my butt. I had the fill to 3 cc's about 2 weeks ago and realized that a lap band 'tiny, tiny bite' means a bite the size of my pinky nail. At 2 cc's I was able to eat any type of protein that could be cut with a knife. Now at 3cc's I can't eat pork or roast beef. Sounds like you are doing just fine. I read on another post on this forum that everytime we get a fill we have to experiment and relearn what we can eat. Good luck.

That's normal.

First thing in the a.m. when I get up (6:00 am) I drink 20 oz of Water (or crystal light) and then around 9:30 I have a small snack, but often it still makes me choke- it has to be VERY soft.

I eat a real lunch at noon, but it's small.

I consume probably 80% of my calories in the evening!! I feel like I'm pigging out, but I realize that every day I am still getting in around 1100 calories, so it's not bad.

I was exact same way for a while, I drank slim fast or carnation instist breakfast in the a.m for some extra protein then had a small lunch then like froggy said i ate most of my protien at supper time i was wide open then , then i could eat at around 5 or after.

I cannot eat first thing in the morning either. I have tea or coffee and then I am out the door for my long commute to work. I usually eat around 8:30 or 9:00 am.

I'm the same way, tighter in the mornings. I drink a protein shake in the mornings usually because I'm in a hurry and it just takes too long to eat.

It's funny how each fill changes the things you are able to eat....it's like you never know until you try them.

Thanks to everyone for all their input. This website and all the wonderful people help make this weight loss much easier. It's great how everyone helps each other along the way!! Thanks again everyone.
