I just had my first fill on Oct 25th (surgery date 9/11/06). 1cc in a 4cc band. I am not having difficulty eating anything...not feeling much restriction either. Matter of fact I was able to eat a 6 oz steak, some noodles, and corn for dinner tonight......I shouldn't be able to eat that much. I have a follow up visit on Nov 8th so I may need an additional fill. Is this normal?? I hear other people talking about not being able to eat much after a fill and I wonder if I'm doing something wrong :cry Thanks you for any comments or suggestions!

I was newly banded on 9/11/06. The first week was the worst, by the second week the only area that hurt was the incision where my port is located, and I still had gas issues. This week I still have a hard time bending over on the side of the port or sitting up in bed using my stomach muscles. I only used the pain medicine for the first 2 days. It seems that the medication only prolongs the healing. Definately get up and walk as much as possible throughout the day. Good luck and I wish you much success!!!!

Today it has been 20 days since my surgery. I have lost 9lbs as of 9/28/06. I have been able to eat pretty much anything I want. I do notice that I can't have the quantites I used to have. I am trying to measure out the correct quantity so I don't overeat. I haven't noticed a huge loss yet, but I haven't started exercising yet either. Tomorrow I am going to go for my first official walk. I am going to make it a priority to walk at least 3 times this week and build up from there. I worry that I've gone through all of this and I'm not going to suceed again. They haven't made any adjustments yet so once that is done maybe I'll start to see more weight loss every week. Keeping track of the protein is going to take some discipline also. I need to make these life changes or I won't succeed. I just don't want it to take over my whole life and become obsessive. My husband has been a great support and I'm glad he's helping me.
