Hi All! I had my first fill today.It was really something.I told my husband after my fill we would go out for a bite.I drank water and was full! The doctor said to stay on liquids for 2 days and then back to soft foods. he said the feeling wont last ,but it is a start! I am happy that i have not gained weight since my surgery.I am on the right track.I hope no one is discouraged! we took this step and we will do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!Lisa

what do you mean by back in shape? does it get out of shape that much? I hope i can lose some but i have not had a fill yet and i am eating like i was pre surgery Lisa

Bambam,I cannot wait for my first fill! Does it feel like your throat is closing up when you are full? How is it that you eat more than 3 times a day/ ? Could you please enlighten me! I bet you excersise alot! please write me back Lisa

Ms.Bunni,hello! i eat too fast too and we are newbies to this.you just need to remember to chew very well.I know i some times forget and eat like i normally would.Thats when i get it stuck and have to get to the garbage can.Or i sit there and cant even talk.I swallow without thinking first .I bet that is what is happening to you.write me back Lisa:thumbup:

how many fills does it take? after the first one,how long before another one? Lisa

Thanks for the advise.I really do not have control yet,This is sheer torture.you are righr bam.i will look on bandster hell.sounds interesting though! do you eat your three small meals? How is the band working for you now? how many fills did it take you to get it? Lisa:confused:

i am eating now like i did before surgery! I have not had a fill yet! My band is unrestricted.I want the doctor to fill it up! I cant wait till Jan 29th .Thats 6 weeks since i have had the band put in! Thanks to all who write to me.it makes me feel good that some one is reading and caring. Lisa

The doctor put my band in,but it is unrestricted! When i go on the 29th i will have my first fill1 Thank you for writing! Lisa

I was banded on December 16 08.The band is in place ,but the doctor has not put any fill in yet,which is upsetting.I am gaining weight.I didnt think it would be like this ! i cant wait till January 29 thats the day it begins.I really cannot excercize too much i have a bad knee.I am getting shots in it soon so maybe i can start to live !:sneaky:

i went to my doc post surgery 21 days and lost 13# i told him i have been eating soft foods for a while and he never looked up.He was not surprised! He sais alot of people gain the fist weigh in.(I guess ice cream is the thing) I will get a fill in 2 weeks.Then the real dieting will begin.Hang in there all of you .It will come to us! we all had the guts to do this .it has takenus a long time and we have the rest of our lives! good luck to all of you! Lisa

Hi! i only had a liquid diet one day before surgery! the day of surgery of coarse nothing.I could resist to eat after 2 weeks.i ameating soft foods but i bet my doc will be mad! he said do not eat any thing till you see me! that would have been almost a month after! i did what i felt i could do.I am bemmed at the weight loss 12 # big deal Lisa

Hello December Lapsters, I had surgery on Dec 16 th .I was on a liquid diet for 2 weeks and then advanced myself to a soft diet.i couldnt take it any more! I have been doing well on it,but i do not know what what my docter will think! I have never thrown up,or even gotten a little sick .I feel stronger every day.I have only lost 12 pounds in this whole time though! i think it should have been alot more! I hope when i go to the doc he will give me a fill.I need to advance to the next stage! have any of you cheated ( i guess) like me? :wub:
