First fill Dec 14,2009

Well I wasn't sure what to expect for this visit.

I had no problem with the office visit and the fill itself.....but I felt like the band was now around my throat. I felt like I couldn't swallow...but buck up little camper this is ok it will pass.

I came home and had some clear liquids that day(very small amounts) and the next day I went to full liquids, then mushie...you all know the drill...

I tried the soft foods I had been eating and what a noticeable difference. I could not eat any more than a half cup total!! Well I found that out the hard way.....

I struggle with eating slow....I find that when I am alone I do fine but when I am with other people that are eating I eat too fast and then I am miserable.

I hope that my fellow bandsters here can offer advice. Only people who have lived this can know what we deal with .

I guess I am a little frustrated but hey I am just keeping it real.

 

Here's to a better day tomorrow!

Thanks for sharing. My first fill is in two weeks. My weight loss has been at a stand still for the last two weeks so I'm looking forward to some restriction. I hope that you are feeling better today :)
