Hey all,

Since we are crossing over to bandland. I was wondering when are you scheduled for your first fill? I'm November 7th..

My is Nov 9th - I'm not sure if that will be too early though - I start eating solids 29th Oct.

November 14th for me. 2 weeks on solids, then fill.

I was only banded two days ago, and my surgeon said 4 to 6 weeks. I'm not going to schedule it though until I see how much restrcition I actually have when the swelling goes down...

Went to the Dr's Friday and all is looking great. my next appointment is Nov 12 and I will get my first fill then.

I go Nov. 13 for my first fill. Good thing, I"m doing mushies now and I am getting my appetite back!!!

I don't know when my fill is because my surgeon does not have a set fill schedule. It is all individual based. If you are following all the rules, and still hungry and want to eat a lot, then you get a fill. I know some there is some people in my program that have never had a fill and continue to lose weight.

I can't imagine having a fill. I have a 10cc band in place and they had to empty it on Friday (4.2cc). I feel better now and can hold a bit more but, after the week I had, I am terrified of getting a fill. It didn't help the lump in my chest but it did help- I can at least picture eating again some day. I'm on mushy stage but, still not taking much. I am sure it'll get better soon.

November 13th but if I don't get up to 8oz doctor said today I may not need it! Yeah ok Thanksgiving is right around the corner and my birthday....better fill me up! That is my favorite meal ever!

Sometime the week of November 12.

what r u eating for the mushies, need ideas

thanks

what r u eating for your mushies, i will be ready in a few days?? thaks

I have creamed soups, cottage cheese, applesauce, puddings, I put a small piece of chicken in the processor and let it go added some fat free gravy and it was yummy. Mashed potatoes, smashed up veggies. I figure I can have almost anything as long as I can puree, blend, and mush it up. Oh yeah, scrambled eggs (with cheese of course!).

I was banded on the 4th oct and my first fill is the 31 st of october
