You almost sound like you think the doctor is TRYING to keep you from getting restriction. That's just not true, he/she is acting in your best interest. EVERYONE is different. Some feel restriction with NO fill. Some have to have several fills (more than 3 or 4) to feel any restriction at all. Your doctor has no idea where you'll fall on the scale of restriction/fill level. If he gives you too much of a fill, and you can't drink fluids, you could end up in the hospital from dehydration. So from his perspective, he's being cautious.
