1st Fill advice

So I had my first fill yesterday and boy do I feel it. I am having trouble not getting stuck. I had 3 cc's, the doctor tried 4 but I couldn't handle that. I am hoping this help me get on my road to weight loss. I know I still have a waise to go before I find the "sweet spot".   If anyone has advice on what to eat for a few days after the fill that would be great. I am trying to stay on soft/liquids for a few days. But also want to avoid the burping and getting stuck part if possible.

Bandster Hell

So I am almost 3 weeks post-op (1/4/10) and am close to finishing my first week of soft foods. I can say I have only vomited once after eating mashed potatoes too fast.   No weight lost for the past week if anything I have gained a pound or two. I am ready for a fill and am tired of these soft foods.   I can't wait for my first fill in less than a month. Maybe then I can begin this journey of weight loss.

This liquid diet is driving me crazy but only another week of it and then at least some soft foods. Although this is better than the pre-op liquid diet. I n

Surgery 1/4/2010

Well I am four days post op and am beginning to feel better. My surgery was scheduled on Monday for 10 am but I went in early. I think I was in surgery within 30 minutes of arrival. I had a delay in the recovery unit as they were waiting for a bed to open up. So I was there for two hours. I have trouble anesthesia so I was vomiting a few times over the course of the afternoon until they found some anti nausea medication that helped.   The overnight stay wasn't too bad other than having to get

Depressed

So I am just about finished with my first week of the two week pre-op liquid diet. I am finding myself so depressed. I don't know if it has to do with the lack of food, the fact that I wasn't with my family over the holidays, or a combination of both. As I am getting closer to my surgery on 1/4; I am becoming increasingly nervous that I am not making the right decision. My husband is not easy to talk to about this. He wants me to lose weight but I don't believe he thinks this is the right decisi
