Congrats on your weight loss. You may just need to go back to the basic. Start the program over. Try 2 days of clear liquids, then add protein shakes for 2 days then mushies for about 4days before going back on solids. I was banded April 22, 2008 and I have lost 96lbs. When I hit a plateau I go on liquids for about 2 days and I increase my excercise by walking an extra 15-30 min. I will admit this hasnt been as easy as I thought it would be. But it is working and I am not gaining. Good luck on your journey.

Hello,

You usually don'thave much restriction after the first fill. You will feel more restriction after each fill. It sometimes takes 3-5 fills, sometimes more depending on how much is injected. Dont get discouraged. Just follow your doctors plan.

Good luck to you also. You are more braver than I. I dont go to work until Monday. I took a weeks vacation, which I am glad I did.

I had my band on Monday, April 21st. The first 3 days after surgery I hurt really bad, but today I feel great. I still have some gas pains, but all in all I feel great. Today I started on full liquids and on Tuesday I start on soft food. This is just the beginning.:biggrin2:
