Eating before and after fills

I have my first fill 12/17. I have some restriction now and I can feel it when I am eating. So far, I have been able to eat what I want with no difficulty. I definitely am eating smaller amounts and know when I'm full or when I've had too much. Does eating after getting fills change a lot? I'm currently eating 1200 cal. per day.

Traveler, there is no path.....

yes for sure. Most bandsters eat 800-1000k calories a day.

Hi Cota129, I'm going in for my first fill today. I currently eat about 800 cals a day, I have some good restriction. Like I can eat 3/4 cup portions at a time and be full... but I get hungry like 2-3 hours later. I'm hoping that with the fills I'll be able to stay fuller longer... I'm assuming that's what will happen. I'll check back in here and let you know though. I could easily be doing 1000-1200 cals a day right now, but I'm very cautious about moving forward too quickly. My paperwork says to be at 1000 cals at this point.
