I went in for my first fill yesterday I was so nervous but I didn't feel a thing... the dr put in 3cc but had to take 1cc out because it was to tight so I'm at 2cc... didn't gwt hungry at all yesterday and today I'm doing good also... So excited

Yesterday was my first post-op appt after being banded on the 22nd... I was so excited when the dr told me I was down 16.8 lbs from surgery.... I just hope the weight continues to come off the same... I'm sure it will be slower now that the Water weight has gone...

I'm glad I read your post... I just had surgery last wed and I have been so freaked out about the fills... I actually just told my family I was more scared of the fills than surgery.. but you have put my nerves at ease... thank you... and good luck

Im sorry you had to experience that by someone who means so much to you... just remember you are doing this for you and nobody else... as long as you see the change and you feel good about yourself that's all that matters... I would take those emotions that you are feeling as a tool to proove to them the great choice you made and the awesome results you are having and are going to continue to have... keep your head up and I am here if you need anything... :-)

My PA who does all things at my doc office- except the actual surgery- said that after my first fill, I probably wouldnt notice a difference. Said most people dont notice until 3rd fill. She was right about first one- back to normal starvation, and I go lazy in the ways of band eating somewhat! Expected same for second fill and WOW WAS I WRONG! Lol! I do feel a bit of restriction and have been violently reminded that you must take small bites and chew til your jaw falls off! Couldnt even finish a chik-fil-a 6pc nugget kids meal yesterday while out with friends! That is exciting!! Also weighed in at a pretty decent weight today! THINGS ARE LOOKIN UP!

Thank you all for your responses.. Thankfully my pain has been bearable and havent takeen any meds... so I should be good...

Maybe you can try an unflavored Protein powder and add it in to thing you eat, like yogurt, Soups, applesauce, cottage cheese. you can make your own fruit smoothie and put it in that, etc... Good luck..
