I got banded on June 2nd, and I get my first fill on July 17th. My question is, what exactly does restriction feel like? I'm careful to chew very well, and if I notice I'm not hungry I'll stop eating instead of waiting for a full feeling like people with normal stomachs do.
"Don't challenge how much you can eat, challenge how little you can be satisfied with."
Well, I don't eat very much.
I made pork chops the other night, that were about the size of my palm, and some steamed vegetables on the side. I ate less than half my pork chop and maybe 3 or 4 bites of vegetables. Maybe 10 minutes after I stop eating I'll have a...Not full or stuffed feeling, but definitely a little...Bloated? I feel like I need to take a walk when this happens. I usually burp a couple of times, and feel a little better, but the feeling lasts for a while. There is no pain, there is no vomiting or even nausea. In fact, I haven't had any problems of pain or nausea since I've had my surgery. I can eat maybe half a taco and feel satisfied. I just want to know if this is normal.
Thanks
