Here it is six weeks after being banded and I had my first fill yesterday. It wasnt painful at all, but I am bruised at the port site. I recieved 4CC in an Lapband AP large that holds 14CC. I wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions as to what to stay away from at least for the moment while adjusting to the new restriction. I am on liquid until tomorrow then back to eating normal.

Thanks

To be honest when I had my first fill of 4cc in an 11cc band I did not feel any restriction at all, but everyone is different. It still took a lot of will power to not overeat. I just got my 3rd fill and I finally know what restriction feels like and I am liking it.

I didn't have restriction until my 4th fill. I had to learn all over again to eat slower and chew better. The feeling I get when full changed so I had to make some mental adjustments. I was on liquids the first 5 days post fill then pbed on everything the next 5 days till I fiqured outwhat was going on. The constant pbing was wearing on my psych. Driving me to overeat. It was a cycle I had to break. I adjusted and am losing steadily. It is an adjustment but well worth it. Be patient with yourself.
