Hey everyone. I started my lapband journey in July of 2009. I was banded on April 29th 2010. My total weight loss during that period was 36lbs. I've lost an additional 10lbs since surgery. My first fill is on June 7th. I'm excited but not really sure I know what to expect after the fill. Any insight would be appreciated.

Hello all. I was banded on April 29th, 2010. Went home the same day. First few days was a little sore but once I began walking around more the pain subsided. After a week and a half I was eating things like cottage cheese and bananas. I've not had any problems eating or getting things to go down other than my medicine. I'm having a hard time remembering to measure my food at work. I don't eat that much though. After a few bites I'm full. I get my first fill on June 7th. I'm excited about that. Since my surgery date I've lost 9lbs. I'm confident that I'm doing well. Any tips would be appreciated.
