I had my procedure March 14, with today being Nov. 23, 2013. I have a 14 cc capacity band. During this 8 month period, I have had 7 fills. The fills have always been 1-2 cc's. My last fill on Nov. 20 put me to 12 cc's of total fill. Up to this point, I have been able to pretty much eat what I want. Weight loss was right at 40 pounds in 8 months. My doctor always told me to eat soft foods for a couple of days after a fill, then move onto more solid foods. I've never had to do this, until this last fill! He rocked my world with this one! Lol. I came home immediately after the fill and my wife had made potato Soup. No problems. Went to the cafe the next day, and had a small lunch special of salad, meat loaf, mashed potatos, and green Beans. No problem. The next morning, I had trouble drinking my morning coffee, and managed to get down three Lunchable turkey and cheese crackers. At lunch, re-heated some potato soup, and it was a no-go. It all came back up. I have also been drinking the Zeal wellness drink. I tried drinking that after lunch had come up to get some Vitamins and nutrients. I couldn't get that down, either. So on the 3rd day after my fill, I couldn't even get cold liquids down. This morning, I have drank two cups of coffee, and tried to drink a Carnation Instant Breakfast. A couple of drinks, and I felt stuck, and just had to wait it out. I thought it was going to come back up, but it didn't.

I came to this forum to see if others were having the same issues, and I see that I'm not the only one. I have a friend that has had this procedure, and she told me that you have to learn what you can and can't do after each fill. This is the first time that I've really had to apply that information.

I have reached my first goal, with is awesome! I just had all my yearly checkups, and all my bloodwork came back in the "green zones". I'm about to have to stop taking my blood pressure meds. My health is really looking up! I'm hanging in there!
