You won't  have any restriction until they put fluid in the band. You're probably all healed now and the swelling has gone down. When is your first fill? For some people it take a few to feel a difference  ...

 

10cc APS band. 
Placed w/ .5cc's.
Fills: 11/5/07 ... 2cc's & 6/15/10 ... 1.5cc's & 3/25/11 .... 1 cc

Hi Kelly,

We'll all be different, please don't be upset with your band.  I did have some restriction prior to my first fill.  I had my first fill at about 6 - 7 weeks.  1cc.  I felt about the same.  I now have 2 ccs and feel full.  I may even get another fill, though I no longer have to see the doc, unless I want to.  Pump in loads of water when you're not eating and make sure you're getting protein in.  I drink 2 - 3 liters a day.  Exercise/walk regularly.  I found this curbs the appetite, too!  Be patient, I know you'll be as happy with your band as I am with mine!  I LVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Cheri, The Happy Bandster

You're more than welcome!  I have had such a positive experience (once I was approved) that I want to share it with everyone!  I do continue to hit weight/scale plateaus, but still see changes in my body so don't get hung up about the weight thing.  It was this forum that gave me ALL of my support!  I didn't get it from family or my best friend.  Now, that they've seen how well it works, it's been awesome! 

Good Luck with your appointment!

Add me, add me!

Muah!

I am 3 weeks out today and am down 30-33 lbs. Today I started to feel hunery!!. I am still trying not to eat more then I was told to and gettingin my 60grams of protein. I find when I get hungery I drink more water. This is helping. If its late at night and im getting hungery Ijust go to sleep !! LOL this works also. I am not getting my first fill till Oct8. This is my choice he wanted me to come in a week or so earlier but due to work i was not able to do that. In the meantime I am healing and doing as I am told. I dont have a scale so I cant weigh my self but I see a difference in my clothes and I have been working out 3 to 4 days a week for 30 min. Good luck
