Ok well I had my first (2cc) fill today 2/28/12 and not to bad! It didn't hurt like my mind thought it would be, now liquids for a few days I look at it like this if I could go 3 weeks only liquid what is a few days right? :P my doctor wants me to come back in a month for another fill (3cc) we will see how that goes he said he likes to go slow with the fills to catch any problems if there is any so I feel good. I learnd I don't have to do milk if milk is giving be problems I'm trying soy,almond and even warm water to blend with my protien. not sure how it is all going to taste yet but ANYTHING is better than all this sour feeling in my stomic :wacko: I'm feeling good but I need to do something about the constipation I'm dealing with! I've NEVER had to deal with constipation never not even having my kids so I feel like this is going to be a BIG problem because I don't know how to deal with this! I do fiber, I drink water about to try prune juice :( witch I hate but what am i gonna do?

 

Tell next update

Constipation has been a problem for me also, I tired the fiber tablets and other stuff but it gives me so much gas that my family can't stand to be in the same room with me. Sorry TMI! Make sure you drink your water and exercise I have found this helps me some.

Hi, I was banded Jan 30, 2011. Had my first fill Feb 13. I was a little aprehensive about the fill but all was good. I had Dr Morton in Nashville TN ( he is fabulous) He told me he put 4 in during surgery and added 1.4 at first fill. I felt tight for the first 48 hours and only did full liquids. I am now doing regular diet and chewing for all I am worth and doing OK. I am so excited about this wonderful experience. It is all about slowing down and feeling what your body is doing. I cant believe that I can eat aprox 1/2 cup and be satisfied for around 4-5 hours at a time.

Good luck to you

Sorry got excited and forgot to tell you to get apple sauce. Eat a little at each meal and it should help with constipation. Keep drinking plenty of fluids.
