First fill

Well, I just gotmy first fill! What a relief. I have only lost 6 lbs since surgery 4 wks ago! No pain at all, just him pushing to find my port. He only put 2 cc of fluids in. Saw the dietitian and I'm now on solid foods. I can have 2 oz protein, 1 oz of veggies or starch and 1 oz of fruit. So I'm on 1/2 c per meal. I pray this works!!!!

 

Love to all!

I am at the same point. Go slow, REAL slow with the food that is. I found that the restriction does not kick in until 3 to 4 days after the fill. When it does you may only be able to eat less. It took me almost 45 minutes to finish a meal that is how slow I have to go. I must say I am feeling so much better. I have been following your blog.;-) I was banded June 29. Thanks for sharing. imaluckydog
