I had my first fill about 10 days ago. She put quite a bit in 4cc and I already had 1.5cc. Once I moved back to the solid food stage I went slow. I think my first solid meal was meatloaf and mashed cauliflower. I am less hungry now, in fact I often skip Breakfast and I am definately fuller sooner at meals. I know when to stop. So far, so good. No issues. I thik if you follow your doctor's instructions and listen to your body, it is all good.

For me, every time I have a fill, it's a little different and I have to learn what I can eat all over again. Some of the things I could eat after surgery, I cannot eat now. I have had 6 fills in the past 7 months and my band is pretty snug right now and I like it that way. My band is always a little looser at night. In the mornings I can only drink coffee, Water, and muscle milk, so that's what I do. Then in the afternoon, I usually have a small V8. At night, I can usually enjoy a small meal of almost anything. It will take some time but you will have to decide where how tight or lose you want your band.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
