Little scared, but I know I need it, I have no restriction and I haven't been losing anything. I'll let y'all know how my experience goes when I get out, wish me luck!

My surgery was may 5th. I haven't started working out yet, not looking forward to it either, lol.

I did try the cream of chicken and it went down well so I'm feeling much better.

I was banded May 3, 2010 and had my first fill May 26(1cc). Exercise? I just spent two days sealing my deck by hand (9 gallons of sealer). I'd call that exercise. lol.. But no formal exercise yet. My weight hasn't budged in two weeks. I guess I'm experiencing the 'Bandster Hell' that I've read so much about. I'm down 16 pounds since starting my journey. I keep saying I'm going to start exercising but all I do is take short walks so far. I see my doc again this afternoon.

Cream of Chicken is great when you're only on liquids. I'm glad it worked out for you. I find that I can't eat too much of it, so I guess this fill is working so far.

I've started exercising, maybe 2-3 times a week. It's kind of sporadic. I know I need to be more regular with it, but I'm not so far. Trying to do better.

I had my first fill on 6/1/2010. The Doctor numbed the area first and the fill only took about 10 minutes under fluroscopy and only some slight pressure felt. He filled my 14cc band with 9cc of saline. I was pretty shocked that he put in 9cc for my first fill. I'm not able to get too much down as per I get a lot of cramping after just a few bites of food or a few sips of liquid. Is 9cc too much for a first fill?
