I got my 6th fill yesterday. Tonight I was able to eat a turkey burger with veggies. No bread.

Is this ok? How long should I wait before eating solid food after getting a fill?

I am at 6.2cc in a 10 cc band. Very little restriction. No weight loss in the past month. I am ready to lose some pounds. What I am doing wrong?

My surgeon and nutritionist recommend going back to liquids a day or two after every fill.

I get told to do soft foods for the day of the fill then slowly back to normal after that.

Liquids same day as fill, day two they said puree your food then go back to regular food the third day. This is due to swelling that happens right after a fill. This is also why you might feel really constricted right after a fill. I had 6cc in my 10cc band for a couple of years because I moved and had to find a Doctor to fill me. I didn't have much in the restriction area and could eat whatever except I could get a stick IF I had something too dry and didn't chew properly. I didn't have any PB episodes or anything like that but would just feel stuck. I got 1cc more in my band and really felt the restriction, I am 2 weeks out from that fill and have to make sure I chew and can tell a significant difference. The Dr said that for my type of band the 7cc is for Many a good number, however we will see as we go along. You might just be borderline on your restriction. I always have pretty much been able to eat whatever I wanted pasta/rice/meats/ but I always choose good cuts in the meat that are tender. But for me the 1cc difference made a HUGE difference!

Full liquids first 24 hours, mushies for next 24 hrs. Fills can take up to 2 weeks to hit.
