I just had my first fill two day ago. I'm on mushies today. The fill procedure was easy as pie, much less pain than giving blood. This morning is the first time I've ate solids. Two scrambled eggs and 4 oz's of cottage cheese. It was too much, I could feel it. I didn't pb or anything. I think the two eggs and 2 oz of cottage cheese would have been just right. My point is that the fill made a big difference. I was starting to feel almost no restriction after all the healing and swelling went down after surgery. I don't know if there is any swelling after the fill right now, but it just feels like restriction, not hungry at all. Compared to yesterday on liquids, I did feel hungry.

I have a AP large band, 14cc's. Doc said I had 4cc's in there from surgery, and he added 2 more for a total of 6cc's now. Love it.

My port site is SORE!!!! And black & blue... Nurse said he had a little difficulty finding the spot for the needle, but now he knows exactly where it's at (for next time). I wouldn't say I FEEL restriction, but I know sometimes it takes a few days to feel it. Back in three weeks for another fill.

eggs & cottage cheese sound really good right about now. LoL.

Yes, ice is good. I was bruised after my first fill as well. I'm fine now.

Almost seven years have never had a problem with a fill. 5 different individuals have given me fills and no one has had a problem finding the port on the first try.

No pillow, but yes, they have me crunch. Surgery was at NYU, NYC. I'm almost afraid for my next fill. I never knew B&B were so painful! I had about the same difficulty getting out of bed as I did post op, I can't even lay on my stomach from the pain (although today was the first time I felt relieve). I think I'll request someone else to fill me next time.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
