I had my first fill via xray on Thursday. I could tel I couldn't eat as much, which was great! Today I made a framer's omletter for my DH and another one for me using egg beaters. This was at 12 noon. We had errands to run so around 4pm my DH wanted to go to the Texas Road House Resturant. I wasn't hungry at all! I was thinking that the fill must be working!!

I manage to have him wait and 45 minutes later we were sitting in the Roadhouse. I mean it can't always be about my needs and this is the firsttime we ate out since my surgery.

I ordered the petite filet (6oz) and only ate half...gave hubby the rest!! Whoa!! Only half? I ordered veggies and couldn't finihed them. I had salad and just a few bites! I did have 2 tiny pieces (very tiny) of bread then removed the basket. If this is restriction then I am loving it!!! I ordered a Margarita and could not finish even half of it. I really felt the band helping me today-it was awesome!!! I do realize the first fill's effect could diminish at anytime, but I did have an idea of what the band is capable of!

That is awesome! Good for you

Nice this is interesting to read! I've been feeling restriction even without a fill; as in today I went to a potluck and ate only a tiny amount of what was there and was just fine, so I'm not even sure if I'm going to get a fill or not. I guess my surgeon will be the one to determine that.

Good job on your progress! That's great news

Congrats my fellow Jersey Girl!!! I had my first fill last Thursday and I have to say I definitely feel a difference too. Keep up the good work everyone : )

glad things are going so well for you! Keep up the good work!

Thanks everyone!! I had very little expectations for my first fill-BUT I really do feel a difference! I can't wait until I have had several fills! I din't lose any weightthe last 3 weeks but suddenly the scale dropped 4 pounds!! (I haven't updated my ticker in a while)

I had my first fill on Friday and I can feel the restriction most in the morning. As the day progresses I am able to eat more so I need to watch it. If this keeps up I will request another fill in next 2 weeks.
