do I need a fill??

Ok, I've had 2 fills, the last one 2 months ago. I do feel restricion, but it's like this. I can eat 2 whole peices of pizza. Pre-op I would of probably ad 4 or 5. But after my last fill I would of HAD to PB it up if I had pizza. Now I feel that feeling, and then a few seconds later, I feel it slide down and I can eat more. I am filled at 1.6 in a 4cc band. So I think maybe I need a fill???

Well I would say you need to eat pure protein first. That type of food, like chicken, will help stay "up" in the band longer then sauce-dough & some pepperoni. Try that for a couple days & do not drink when eating- wait till 1 hour later so you don't wash the food down. It may be that the sauce is helping pass the food too quick.

There's more to deciding whether a fill is in order than just whether you "can" eat a certain amount. When you get that first stop, you should really try to STOP eating and sit and feel whether you are really still hungry. Just because you are physically able to eat more is no reason to do so if you are no longer feeling hungry. If you get in that habit you may end up pouch-packing without even knowing it, and short-circuiting the signals that are telling you you've had enough.
