So, band was left empty after surgery on June 9.

July 27, first fill 4.25cc. Was great for a week, then all hunger was back in full force, I would eat, mostly protein, and 1-2 hours later hungry again.

August 28, 2nd fill 2.5cc, which now puts me at 6.75cc in a 10cc band. Yahoo.. OMG went to IKEA today, ordered the Kids Swedish Meatballs. It comes with 5 1 inch meatballs, mashed potatoes and applesauce. I ate 4 of the meatballs, just dabbed in the applesauce for juiciness and flavoring. Ate 2 little bites of the mashed potatoes, and I was STUFFED. Here it is now 9 hours later, and I am still full. I have been sipping my protein liquids all day, bullet with water and crystal lite, and i know I need to eat something, because it is way past dinner time, but I just don't know.

WOW, If this is what restriction is like... I LOVE IT.

That's great! I am SOOOOO looking forward to being where you are. I also had surgery 6/9. My first fill was 7/31 2cc, which did nothing. Second fill 8/28 1cc which is not feeling any different. My surgeon said next fill will be 0.5 or 1cc depending on how I'm doing. (I'm losing weight fine, but it's willpower so far!). It's a little frustrating to not have restriction yet. I know, I'll get there and waiting really is the hardest part. At .5 cc/fill, it could take a while to get there. Maybe that's what I'll tell Santa I want for Christmas. :wub:

today i ate 1 scrambled egg for breakfast, had 1/4 of a grilled chicken breast for lunch, and 1/2 a yogurt at dinner time. i am so stuffed, and am really feeling the restriction now.

Wow..i hope my 2nd fill is better. I have an 11cc band...my first fill was 5cc's. I still feel i can eat way too much--dont feel much restriction. I have to wait 6 weeks before my next fill...i hope that one does the trick. Havent really lost anything lately..playing with the same 1-2 lbs up and down for a couple of weeks now!
