:scared2:hi everyone today i went for my first fill. my appointment was at 11:40. got their at 11:15. had to wait for like five minutes.by the way i gained 3lbs.she ask me what i was eating i said mashed potatoes.mushy stage she said no carbs.but protien. the doctor gave me 1.5cc he said i had the small band, standard.i don,t know how many cc,s it hold. but anyway it was painless an easy about f ive seconds it was done he ask me did i fell anything i say no he says most people do some don,t but for a second i could taste it in my throat.it taste just like my iv fluid when my nurse change my iv bag during my hospital stay. after the fill he gave me water to sip it went down fine.i am to do liquids for today, tomorrow mushy, then he said regular foods.he is a great doctor.so far i haven,t had any complications what so ever. as i sit here sipping my chicken broth i think i can feel something.so my people how are you doing. wishing everyone blessings on our new journey in life. (:crying::sleep::lol:sil)

hello well congrats on the fill and i am happy to hear it wasnt painful. I DONT UNDERSTAND YOU GAINED 30 POUNDS SINCW BEING BANDED? How is that possible ?

PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I JUST GOT BANDED ON THE 5TH OF FEB. AND I AM HUNGRY I DONT KNOW HOW I WILL MAKE IT OM THIS LIQUID STUFF FOR ANOTHER WEEK AND 3 DAYS. OMG IF I COULD DOTHIS I WOULD BE SKINNY

my blog says i have gained (3)lbs.not thirty, i would be out of my mine. when i first got banded january 13th.i lost 19lbs.i was not hungry but then came the mushy stage i was eating mashed potatoes.but they are loaded with carbs an that,s a no no.

My staple at mushies was cottage cheese. LOTS of proten. I can't believe you were still on mushies when you when in for your first fill. I was on regular food for a while before my first fill. Every doc is different. Does your doctor have a set amount he fills? Mine puts in until I feel restriction and then takes out a smidge until I don't. It works great for me!
