2nd Fill

I just got back from doctor's office. I got another .5 cc in my band so now I am at 4.5 ccs. It was easier this time. I had the same PA do it, so it was faster finding the port and doing the fill.

 

It has only been 2 weeks since my 1st fill, but I was not feeling any restrictions. Besides today and tomorrow, I am eating solid foods now. Hopefully that will help with the weight loss. The soft foods just don't stay in the pouch long enough to stay full.

 

Since I have been eating solids I have noticed the sloshing feeling go away! :biggrin: When I would stand up or sit down I could feel the food bubble down the pouch or something. It was weird.

 

I am still having a hard time finding something to eat for breakfast. I was doing the protien shake but the doctor does not want me to drink those, because it does not stay in the band. So I tried 1 banana and that is good, but I know it has too many carbs for me. I think I will try hard boiled eggs next.

Its nice to find someone who had the same issues as I did. I got my 2nd fill after 3 weeks because I had lost no weight. I have a hard time with breakfast too. I thought it was my bad luck and I was going to be fat forever. But it has been 2 weeks since my 2nd fill and I lost 4 pounds the first week and 2 pounds the 2nd. My doctor said to drink a shake at 7am and 3pm and my weightloss will go faster. I can't eat solid foods in the am, they get stuck so I just have one shake for breakfast and then whatever for lunch and dinner. Though I am running out of ideas of what to eat. Any suggestions?

I have been eating a lot of chicken and fish. Also I like sushi a lot... no rice but just raw fish. Yummy!!! I buy skinless boneless chichen thighs. they are so much better than the breast, but just more fat. you can cut that part off though. it goes down very well and fills me up pretty fast.
