I had my first fill last friday, so it has been 2 days.

My concern is I have NO restriction. I can take normal bites and I am not having any problems with getting stuck, or pb or anything. I would think that I would feel something different, but no. :confused: Well maybe I do feel full quicker, a little.

Please help me understand.

I had my first fill on Monday. Today was my first time eating some "normal" food. I feel fuller than I normally do. I did eat more than 1 cup but it hit me sooner than it would have last week. I also noticed this afternoon that I wasn't hungry like I normally am around 3pm. So it did make me fuller longer. I'm really excited to feel that today. Yesterday I was a bit down and feeling like the fill didn't do anything. I guess we really don't know until we start eating real food (not just liquid/softies).

At my lap band support group meeting they say that it can take two weeks before you start noticing whether the fill is really working or not. I agree with the previous poster that I'm here for the long haul. I knew before going into this that it wasn't going to be a quick fix and that it could take multiple fills. I'm expecting at least 5-6 before I hit my sweet spot.

Also, I was really surprised at how painless the fill was. It was so easy and quick. I had mine under fluro at the hospital.

not really sure how i feel after getting the fill but, i did notice that i had 2 protein shakes and a sm beef jerky and that is all for today. so i guess its doing something.
