4 days after 1st fill..

I was banded on Jan 9th, then also has my first fill Feb 4th. Same thing, I did liquids the 1st day.. etc.. OK- I still feel like I can eat like I did before the fill. I don't even have any of the "spasms". I have been chewing my food like crazy- just in case. But, every once in a while when I slip up & dont chew as much, it's been ok.

 

I know that I have lost almost 20 lbs.. But, this whole past month has been nothing but pure will power. Could I have lost this much weight by will power before the band to lose weight?? Nope.. I just don't want to screw things up inside - especially when I can't see it. However, I'm finding it frustrating that I can't feel anything.. I am just going by.. I guess I should stop eating, or people are watching me eat- I shouldn't eat anymore.

 

I do remember the restriction that I had after surgery- I guess that is what I am expecting. (and I liked it) :w00t:
