Thank you Melissannde & Amanda for the advice :-). I am planning on very s l o w l y and carefully resuming solids. Tomorrow my work is celebrating Thanksgiving (early) with a catered Italian lunch and I am just hoping they have soup, because that is pretty much all I can eat. I have a follow-up visit the week after Christmas, so I am trying to make my goal of 10 pounds lost by then. Thanks for the support and good luck to you two as well!

It is a Realize Band, I think holds up to 10ccs?

Congratulations...I bet you feel fantastic. I also thank you for your inspiration. I was just banded last month and filled today, so I am hoping to post similar results next year. Way to go!!!:blushing:

I got banded on October 14. I went into the hospital today to get my first fill (my doctor always does first fills in radiology at hospital). Fill procedure went great, got numbed up, port easily accessed, drank the barium, etc. When I was getting ready to leave I asked the dr. how much he put in my port, he said 7ccs!!! I was really surprised that much was filled. I was expecting maybe 4-5 ccs? Was wondering if anyone else got around 7 their first time and if it worked out well. I'm excited!! :blushing: I am on fluids for first 48 hours, then mushies and hoping on Thanksgiving day to be able to eat teeny bites of my faves.

Hi! I am going through the same thing, but with diet coke. The withdrawals have been heinous (awful headaches), but I feel better today and I completely gave it up Thursday (first day on liquid diet). Good luck!

Good luck tomorrow! That is so exciting . I am being banded next week, and I can't believe it's almost here. Best wishes!

Hi! I am being banded in 10 days (yippee!) and am on day 5 of a liquid diet. I feel like everything is going ok, but I have completely had to give up diet coke and feel like that is the hardest thing to do so far. Has anyone else gone through soda withdrawal (diet or otherwise)? Does it get better? Thank you .
