:thumbup:Was banded 4/1/10. No problems with surgery. Came home that same day. Had my first fill last Mon., 5/17/10. Only got 2 cc instead of the normal 3 cc my Dr. usually gives due to some sticking problems. Since my fill I've lost 9 lbs. in 7 days. I'm afraid I may have to much restriction. I can only eat about 6-7 bites of food or small drinks at a time and then I feel full. When I do take either bigger sips or a little bitter bite I get a very discomfort feeling and it takes about 15-20 min. for it to go away. I did call my Dr. and the PA indicated that I may be almost at the "green" spot already. I guess my question is anybody else having this feeling after eating/drinking such small amount and got to the "sweet" spot as I call it on just a small fill. Thanks for letting me ramble on.

I'm having trouble with the tricker so here is my stats: pre-diet 3/18/10-227; surgery 4/1/10-207; 5/23/10-195; goal-140 for now. :tongue2:

I too went last wednesday for my first fill. I can eat more than I should, but am trying to "diet" before my next fill July 7th. They put 5ccs in my 10cc band, but had to take 1cc out because I couldn't even keep water down. I threw up like five times when they filled me. I hate that he took 1cc out, but am ok with it now. I will just bide my time and go from here. I just ate cottage cheese with sugar free peaches and "love" to hear the sounds made when the food is emptying. I am having a little difficulty with bread though, (I KNOW, not a bad thing...just stay away from it) and am trying to stay away from it! I still have a difficult time wrapping my head around it all. I am only down 21 since surgery and have been fighting the last three lbs up and down. I hate this part, but I got fat over years and am trying to remember that in five weeks 100lbs is not going to melt off of me.
