Good luck to you!! You'll do fine. Getting a fill doesn't hurt..

Follow your doctor's orders after your fill. Liquids... then mushies again.. you know the drill..

I'm all done. Took about 5 minutes and not much pain (just a pinch). I definately feel restrictionnow (6CC of 10CC band). I used to be able to gulp Water, now sipping even causes some minor discomfort. Doc said this would go away in a few days. 2 days liquid diet, then back to mushies for 2 days :tongue2:.

Hi all - I'm back from my first fill also and that was easy peezy! Definitely feel tighter. Drinking Water is a challenge - I am definitely sipping slowly. I'm also on liquids for two days then mushies. He only put in 2.4 ccs. He tried to put in a little more but it was definitely way too tight - I could feel that barium sitting in my throat. yuck! So, I think I'm about at the right fill now. Hopefully the weight will start flying off! :tongue2: A girl can dream, right?!

I'm not gonna lie, I finally drank some Water and it had no problems going down. I feel like I'm starving. I had a popsicle and some broth and that kept me at bay for a few hours, but here I am again, tummy growling up a storm. Not sure what else to try, I'm def not going off the docts orders, but man, some mashed potatoes sound amazing.

I had my first fill on 6/1 and it took me 3 days to be able to handle food! I thought I was going to lose my mind! Good luck, listen to your body, and you will all be great!

I just had my first fill today. I now have 4.75cc(?) saline in my band. The fill didn't hurt at all, really. I wasn't numbed and only felt the small prick of the needle. It was weird to feel a sudden tightening once the saline went in.

Anyways, I had some gas at first when I was drinking some Water, but just had some watered down cream of chicken Soup with no problems. Not feeling very hungry at all which is a good thing.

Anyways, so far so good. Hope everything works out for everyone! :tongue2:

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
