Today I am 1month out from my surgery date. I got my first fill on the 30th September and I have a total of 6cc in my band. I had 4cc from surgery and they added 2cc. I have the APS Lap band So I was very excited thinking I was going to have the restriction that I needed. Well, I was wrong! I stayed on soft foods the first day just because I didn't want to upset my stomach then yesterday I did my protien shake in the morning everything was fine there and then I came home for lunch and I ate a whole sandwhich with 100cal chip pack and a suger free pudding. I didn't wash down my food and didn't have any problem getting it down. Although, after everything settle I think the pudding upset my stomach. So I thought to myself I shouldn't be able to eat this much and I called my WLS center and the lady was not very happy with me she said "WHAT ARE YOU DOING EATING BREAD YOUR NOT SUPPOSE TO EAT BREAD":cursing: I said "because I was hungry" then she went on about how bread expands in your stomach and can block your band and she said I shouldn't be able to eat that much and set me up for another fill for next Tues. I wanted something this week but they were booked up. I did have a little harder time getting dinner down last night ate some chicken and didn't chew it well enough and it was stuck for a few minutes boy was that painful but was ok once I finally got it down. I am only down 10lbs so I am really looking forward to getting my fill handle so I can get this weight loss going. Plus, I am in the middle of trying to find a new job because my boss needs to downsize due to the state of our country right now and you know how food can be your friend in stressful times So yeah .... Good Times! Going to keep reading everyone elses to give me strenght and just keep the faith that "This too shall pass"
