I was banded July 2008, filled to 1.8cc by November 2008 and then emptied May 2009 because I was in my third trimester of pregnancy.
When I was filled at 1.8cc I could still eat anything I wanted with minimal restriction. I just had my first fill since having my baby and it's 1.6cc.... less than before and I have HUGE restriction. I'm not use to this and am wondering if I'm at the right place when it comes to eating.
The first week after my fill I could only do liquids... couldn't get any solid food down without wanting to get sick. Now, I'm able to get some solid food down, but very little. My portions are smaller than a child's size portion and I cannot do any kind of starches. Is this where I should be at to maximize my band? I have to wrap my brain around this new way of eating and I'm not use to this being "normal", so I'm just wondering if anyone out there can tell me their experience when they knew they hit their "sweet spot" with their band. Thanks.
