My doctor only gave me 2cc's for my first fill. I do not feel any restriction and really have to watch trying to drink protein shakes more than eating actual food. I do not get very full so am not loosing very much wait. I am hoping my next fill helps but it is frustrating to think it may be a couple more before I feel anything. Right now I only have 3cc's so 10 is a ways to go.

My worst gripe is trying to find the right size waterproof bandages ,so that I can cover the incision sites and take a shower. I found the waterproof tape did not work well but large waterproof bandaid were wonderful! Sponge baths just do not work

My doctors office recommended high protein and low carb shakes. I was not hungry until I had to go on the clear liquids 2 days before. Those shakes are more filling than one might think Good luck to you both!

I am very glad to find this group. I just had my surgery today and am home recovering. I am so glad I went to a surgery center because I would much rather recover at home than at the hospital. I am glad for the support of others who re currently going through the same thing
