Hello again! Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I completely agree with all of you that it was very foolish of me to eat this much especially only 10 days after my surgery. I only wanted to "test" the band to feel the restriction and started to get worried thinking that it cannot be possible to eat this much with 5 cc fill, is it?????? I will definite go back to liquid/mushies diet. Am i correct in my understanding that the band basically does basically nothing until i had the optimal amount of fills? I was able able to eat so much with 5cc fill. I will be patient and let my body heal.

Hi everyone: Please can you help me out? I had my surgery 10 days ago and I'm supposed to be on a liquid/mushies diet right now. Unfortunately I experienced no restriction in the band I started to get worried thinking the band may have slipped...I ate 6 glasses of soft desert, two large[!] chocolate bar and, sushi rolls, 4 slices of cheese and felt absolutely no restriction at all. I know I shouldn't have eaten all these things, but I can't believe that with 5cc restriction in my band I can eat this much. Please give me advice. I'm "only" BMI 30 and feel like I'm on the track to gain weight. Should I get a fill now? Please help as soon as possible!

My operation is in less than two weeks and my surgeon didn't say anything about a preop diet. Please help! What do I need to do and is it necessary?
