Is it Working?

i had my surgery on 10/30/08. My highest weight I got up to 268, than I lost a few pounds and was 263pounds 2 days prior to my surgery. Today I am weighing 256. My concern is that I don't really feel restricted when I do try and eat. I'm not really hungry, but I know I should eat and drink something. I've expressed this to my doctor and she she told me the liquids were going right through and I could move on to the next stage of the foods, so at this point I am on solids. Even than I still don't feel full, I just stop because I'm not hungry. My sister had it a few months ago and my recovery has been different from here's. I've read about stretching the pounch/stomach. How will I know if mine is stretched? How will I know if it healed properly? I'm going for my first fill in December, will they be able to tell if something is wrong at that time? Will I not feel that restriction until my first fill?
