OMGoodness.But on a lighter note.. for weigh in I lost 19lbs and I feel great!! I can't wait till tomorrow so I can put some food in my belly. Any suggestions ???

Congrats on the weight loss!

My best suggestion is to reintroduce regular foods slowly and carefully. Take very small, cautious bites to make sure nothing is going to get stuck.

Congrats on the weight loss!!!!

Thanks guys

Also banded 9/4 and going for my first fill this afternoon! He said I will get 4cc this fill, excited, but a bit nervous. Congrats on your weight loss!

Congrats on your weight loss. That is awesome progress. Does your Doctor recommend not eating before a fill?

I always make sure I eat before a fill because I know the next 24 hours will be a soft liquid diet. I have had 5 fills and never had a problem with eating prior to the fill. On a fill appointment day I would eat around 7am and go to my appointment between 8-830.

@Jim .. I didn't know if I could eat.. but now that I know .. I will make sure I get a bite before the fill.. that was the longest 24 hrs of my life ..lol..

By chance , does anyone have a guide on what a days meal would be.. I'm looking for something new so that I won't get bored with the current meals. Or a receipe(spell check ) book for banders..
