HEy with 2Cc there is def not going to be much restriction, it takes a couple of fills for to start feeling restriction, i got my thrid fill yesterday and today i must admit im starting to feel fuller longer. Dont worry just work on changing your mind set when it come to food! If your still hungry just eat the low calorie Snacks like the sugar free popsicles and Jello, drink your Vitamin Water zero or crystal light, make a meat crusted pizza....... look for ways to get more Protein in so u could feel fuller longer until ur able to get more fills

It will be my second trip back since surgery. My post-op was this past Tuesday and I scheduled my fill then.

Onto almost all normal foods, 20.3 lbs down, smaller pants AND I had to tighten my bra all the way!!! Woot!

I just wish it were Water proof so water therapy could be tracked

The first 24 hours was horrible for me. HORRIBLE shoulder pain and back pain from all the gas, I was ready to have it taken out! It does pass and it will get better. Hang in there and don't hesitate to take your pain meds when you need them. I used a heating pad, both on my back/shoulders AND on my stomach as my nurse told me it helps with the gas. I'm 10 days post-op and I feel pretty darn good!
I called my mom crying one night about 5 days after surgery because I was so frustrated that I was having such a hard time. I've had 2 c-sections and I felt like I did MUCH better with those (where you stay in the hospital for 2 days) than I did with the band, which was outpatient for me. She said: when you have a c-section, they cut you open take the baby out and sew you up. What you had done, they cut you open - 5 times - moved your liver, repaired a hernia, strapped a band on your stomach, put your liver back and closed you up - 5 times. It's bound to be a little rougher.
It made sense to me and I lightened up on myself a lot. It's overwhelming in the beginning, but I promise it will get better.
