After a fill you should to stay on liquids and soft foods for 3 days.. You may just have to slip all your liquids all the time, to keep you from burping.. I also think 5cc is alot, I remeber my first fill I was given 4cc and I was sick so sick. My band holds 10cc. And now I only get 1.5cc after finding what works for me. Call your Dr.after 4 or 5 days if it has not goten any better you may have to have some of your fill taken out. I wish you the best.. Good Luck!

Hello J_BandRanger . Is this your first fill, if so maybe your band and you have to get use to it. I would get on the scale because you need to know where you are, and if you have lost or gain weight from going to Tampa. working out at the gym is a great thing. Have a great vacation. All the best to you..

Hello missrbp I have a few suggestion for you. When you go to the seminar and hear so much info on what you have to do beofre this surgery. It's going to feel like alot to do, but it's easyer then it sounds. My 2nd suggestion is do enjoy all the foods you love now, because after your surgery there are some foods that you will have to give up because they are just not Lap Band freindly. 3rd thing is post your feelings here on this site tell us what you are going through, this site has many wonderful people. keep in touch and Good luck to you. LOVE IT!

so happy I could fill your sweet tooth enjoy it janetsjourneytoslim. keep up the great work

In the immortal words of Jackie Gleason, "How sweet it is!" These are some of the things I've noticed since I've lost some weight. Going into a doctor's office and not having the Medical Assistant sizing you up to see if you need an extra-large gown. How sweet it is to put on a regular-size gown, and still be able to tie it! How sweet it is to be able to tell your weight with pride, and without saying "mumble mumble mumble"! Going into a restaurant, and noticing the tables are so close together -automatically what would run through my head is -oh, dear - will I be able to walk through the chairs without having my derriere bump into someone's head or shoulders - after my meal, will I be able to get up without clearing off the table next to me with my derriere? How sweet it is that I don't have to think about this any more! How sweet it is, going into a diner, knowing I can fit in a booth! How sweet it is, being on a train or a bus and finding a seat without having to size it up to see if I can fit in it without spilling over into the next seat, or expelling someone from their seat when I stand up LOL! How sweet it is, being able to get into a kayak, knowing that you can get out of it without having to pry it off LOL! How sweet it is, in a crowd, to be able to say excuse me, and not having to knock people over to get through! How sweet it is, knowing that on my next airplane ride, I can put on my seat belt without having to ask the attendant for a seat belt extension! How sweet it is to be able to wear heels again after loosing weight in my feet! How sweet it is to be able to cross my legs again! How sweet it is to be able to look at myself in the mirror at home without having to cover all the mirrors with a black veil. How sweet it is, not having to take a bunch of medications daily, like I was 80 years old! How sweet it is to get complemented on my appearance again! How sweet it is knowing I have only 25 more pound to go to reach my goal weight! How sweet it is knowing I have this wonderful tool, the LAP-BAND®®, that has helped me to change my life! So if anyone out there is not sure if the LAP-BAND®® is not for them, or considering the LAP-BAND®®, keep reading the wonderful stories on this site and gain a wonderful support system, and possibly a new friend. This was the best choice for me to make in my life - HOW SWEET IT IS!
