and got me a fill...

Ok I'm corny and old.

But I got a fill today! 3.5 hr drive each way and 20 min appointment. LOL

She put 3cc in my 10cc band. She said I should notice a difference.

I'm about to die of hunger, I really should have eaten before I went in. All I've had today is Protein Water. LOL. Tomorrow puree and then one day of soft, and then I get to put this thing to the test!

Today WOULD have been my first day on regular diet, but instead I got the fill. So I pushed it back 3 more days.

I'm ready to do some chewing already! :thumbup:

Oh wow, you haven't been able to eat "real" food yet? Ouch! No wonder you're hungry! Well at least it's right around the corner. My dr told me to definitely do Clear liquids for the rest of today. He said I could add Protein shakes tomorrow and then soft foods on Thursday before going back to my regular diet on Friday. That's good because we are going out of town on Friday. I'm taking my kids down to their Dad's for his annual St. Patrick's Day party and I plan on having me some corned beef and cabbage!!! (No Irish soda bread though). It will be interesting to see how my band handles food again. I am definitely still feeling a little hungry but not bad. It's okay as long as I keep drinking.

Congratulations on your fill!

I was on the last day of the "mushy" diet, which I will say my dr is pretty generous with what counts as mushy. I want some nuts, though. Isn't that odd? Not like I went around eating nuts all the time. LOL

That's funny. I was looking at the honey roasted peanuts in the cupboard today! Decided against them though!

Wow, that sounds like a big fill....I usually read how people get 1cc at a time. I bet you feel a difference right away.

My doctor has us do liquids for a few days after the fill. I don't get mine until the second week of April! That seems like FOREVER!

Angie: Funny, I was just saying today, wonder when I can eat nuts? I used to love my 12 almonds a day (1 oz) and really miss them. We may have had surgery the same day, but my fill isn't until next monday.

I still have exactly 7 days until I get my first fill....errghhh!

It will be here before you know it. Just try to stay busy! Hang in there!!!!!

Gratz Angie!

I'm so nervous about my first fill. I wonder if it will hurt and my doctor starts off REALLY slow, so I doubt I'll feel any restriction until 3 fills at least.

Definitely didn't hurt. She rubbed lidocaine on first - I didn't even FEEL it.

Mine didn't hurt at all, they go through the port scar which is numb.

Karen You were so right....Here I am night before my first fill!!

Yes!!!!
