My first few weeks I ATE... My first fill cut those portions in half... So I"m hoping my next one will do the same. My friend is filled to 6cc and is super full after 3 bites... Good Luck!

You are doing awsome! I get my first fill on Friday. I had to wait an extra week due to my work schedule, but I am sooo ready!!!

Congradulations, just remember every day gets better!!!!

b12 works wonders!! Thats the only thing that keeps me going! Best of luck!

When I went in for Surgery I had a UTI and didn't know it, until my white cell count was up. So he gave me antibiots for that too, but it makes for a MISSERABLE surgery! Hope your feeling better!!!!

I live in Houston, Tx. Thats so exciting. 15 pounds is awsome!! Since I've started eating solids, I'm sure I've gained a couple pounds, but thats expected. Not too happy about it though! One week after surgery I had lost 13 lbs.. Does your Port side still ache? Mine is very tender still.

One other thing.. The day after surgery was a Saturday. I got really nasseas and scared because I didn't want to throw up after just having had surgery. I called Dr. Spiegel and had to leave a message on his cell phone. To my surprise he actually called back to check on me, which reassured me and made me feel like even on his busy Saturday at the office, he made an effort to take care of me too. (phenegan for nassea worked wonders). I've heard some bad things about the office and stuff, but over all they have been the biggest help and took time to sit down and talk to me one on one (Dr.Spegiel & Staff) numerous times. I would recomend them to anyone!

My liquid diet consisted of Protien shakes, atleast 3 a day. Up to 5 if needed. Jello, Broth (bullion cubes), sugar free jello, coffee tea water or any crystal light. It wasn't bad after the first day. I think the first day is the hardest, then after that you aren't even really hungry.
