First Fill

Amy are you sure you got .3 or 3ccs? I am only questioning because .3 seems really a small amount for your first fill?? Make sure you keep eating small bites and chewing..your restriction can be there when you least expect it!! take care!!

he said .3, i know it isnt enough because i was eating 8oz before and can still do that, I was so nervous from hearing all the horror stories on here about over fill that i talked myself into thinking i couldnt swallow the water as he was doing the fill, lesson learned, go back in 4 weeks, but i have lost 5 lbs since thursday. What a learing experience banding is lol.

I get at least .5 cc every time I go. Today was my third fill and I got 1 full cc. I was happy because I am hungry too much. I did manage to lose 3 lbs. in 4 weeks which I think is way too little. I was under the impression I would lose a little quicker. I know this is a slow process, but didn't realize it was that slow. I see other people losing mega weight in a short period of time. I guess it's different for everyone and I am the slow one of the bunch. I just hope I get to a restriction where I am not hungry all of the time. I am never worried about an overfill. I am always worried about an underfill and can't wait to go back in 4 weeks. I am to stay on a clear liquid diet for 24 hrs. and a mushy diet the next 24 and then back to normal. I start getting much hungrier and find myself eating mushy things before the 24 hours is up. I really wish I could start losing faster. I have been exercising and learning to cook better, but to no avail. Oh well, I am not giving up. I came too far. Good Luck to you!
