How many fills have you had? Is this the first time you have felt any "restriction" after a fill? I get my first fill this Saturday, sure hope it helps. So far I've felt no restriction whatsoever.

I have my first fill on the 19th. I am hoping I will start to feel that "full" feeling because honestly, I do not feel like I had anything done, like no restrictions etc. I get frustrated but then have to remind myself...it's only been a month...patience,patience,patience! I just went back to work this week and it was fine. I have chosen not to tell anyone about the surgery, at least at this point. I may change my mind later. How are you doing, 4 days postop?

Dawn, I think you are going through what we have all felt at one time or another...angry/confused/full of regrets/depressed/frustrated/etc with the occasional "happy" thrown in. I am only a month postop and I totally get the frustration of food limitations. what helped me most was adding sugar-free popsicles and sugar-free jello, and while they may not be a "meal", you actually get to CHEW something, which felt simply fabulous after the never-ending liquid feasts. It may not be a huge help, but if you are like me, I was happy to just have something...SOMETHING...different. Best of Luck..keep us posted on your success! Laura
