Thank you guys for giving me your view on things!! I was a little nervous about fill number 2, but I went in this morning to see my Doctor, and he agreed I needed the 2nd fill and gave me 2 more cc's. So now I have 5cc's in a 10cc band. I'm on liquids today, mushies tomorrow, and back to regular food on Wednesday. The liquids are going down just fine and are keeping me full, so I'm super excited that this was a good decision

Hi All, So just a little background I had my surgery on 5/5/11 and my first fill on 6/1/11 of 3 c.c. The weight I lost so far is due greatly to the liquid post-op diet and mushie food stage, of course, and now I am eating about 3/4- 1 cup of food per meal, and loosing nothing. I am working out every other day I jog 3 miles on the treadmill, and lift free weights, and drink any where from 64-80 oz of Water a day. The problem is I have to stop myself once the "measured" food is gone, because I don't feel full, I have read similar post on this site of not getting real restriction until they have received multiple fills, which i don't mind waiting for, but my question is how soon is too soon to get another fill? So I called my Dr.'s office to see what they thought and they told me I should come in on Monday to receive another fill, because i haven't lost any weight since my 1st fill, and I should be feeling full. What do you all think... Thanks in advance for any advice!!

Hey Emmster! I just started mushies as well this week and found that sweet potatoes don't work for me, I think since my liquid diet I've become very sensitive to sugars and a lot of the "sugar free" items that contain sugar alcohol can also cause upset stomachs... a lot of them say so on the product so I would avoid them aswell... I think this is pretty normal though as we just came off of a liquid fast and are now re- introducing foods back to our body... any how congrats on the loss so far

Great Idea!!! It would be nice to know how others did....I'm 2 weeks post op and down 19lbs

Congrats!!!!!!!!! My date is May 5th.......and I’m also super nervous...can't believe the day is here already =) Good Luck tomorrow =)
