I found my thrill...

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

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.

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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
