...can't really tell if I'm restricted or not. I can sip drinks/shakes just fine. I'm kind of bummed because I just got into the groove of eating regular foods, and it's back to liquids for days, then mushies. Doc visit was good though. He also indicated it could take 5 fills before things were perfect.

Calm down, you are doing great. The 1st fill probably won't giv ethe restriction you need, but then you never know. I took a look at your weightloss, and Wow! It has been good, so who knows. Gald to meet you, Karen

Great job.. My first 3cc fill was today as well. I started at 220 on dec 14th and weighed in today at 192...it doesn't seem sat enough, but then again we are all so inpatient . Good luck on your journey...

I was banded on Jan 27th and i have my first fill in a couple weeks and i am pretty nervous about it. How did it go? You are doing so great with your weight loss!

Thanks all! I really should be clear - I had lapband AND plication on 1/23, so the plication has been in effect. I have also been following a very strict low carb diet. I had lost prior to exploring surgery doing low carb, and my doc is adamant about it, so I've had soft meats, eggs, cheese... just saying no to pasta, pizza, pancakes, and pastries!

By the way, the fill was a total cake walk... doc hit it right away, and it did not hurt. Getting my flu shot was worse!
