The 'mother' of all fills

I am 2 months post-op and had my second full today. The surgeon was pleased with my progress and although he said he usually only gives 2cc(s) as a second fill, he occasionally will give 2.5cc(s). I had restriction for a week after the first fill then it faded away. He gave me the 2.5cc fill and called it the 'mother' of all fills! Lol! I was instructed that I should be very cautious when I start solids again in 48 hours. This fill was also virtually painless with no numbing agent.

I am so thankful for my band and still shocked by the steady weight loss. I am hopeful for the first time in many years. I am also very appreciative of this board and all the information and support.

You are doing great! Keep up the good work. Like your surgean said, be carefull when you get to solids. Eat very slowly, small bites and chew chew chew. For me, I get a slight pain in my chest as I'm eating. I stop, and sometimes burp and am able to return to eating. Other times I am not. I have learned the hard way that if I eat beyond this point I vomit.

Great job so far!!! Awesome that he gave you a "mother" of a fill LOL! I definitely would be very cautious going back to regular food when eating.

Hope this one is "the one" for you :-)!
