Well our month is almost done and now we are on the the next big hurdle in our journey... our first fill:w00t:

I am scheduled for July 14th at 3:00

I already know that my Dr. does all his fills under x-ray so as to get the port the first stick and do a swallow test too:ohmy: All I can think about now is that swallow test following surgery... that thinned out stuff was so Nasty tasting stuff... :Angel_anim:

But First Fill I'm excited!! I'm starting to get my hunger back and while I am only able to eat about 3/4 to 1 cup b4 I feel full the full feeling doesnt last long... don't know how much of that is cause it's still mushies and flows through the band pretty easily but I'm ready for the next step!!:smile2:

I was banded 6/18 and can't have a fill until 8/5!! That's 7 weeks! I am going to go crazy before then.

wow, thats a long time, Kathy! At least you will be very healed up by then! (tryin to find the positive here! Hang in there!

My first fill is July 22.

Yep, the healing part is going very well and fast! I will be very ready for the fill!!

Add me to the list of people are READY for a fill. Unfortunately, my Dr. is very conservative. I was banded on 6/5 and won't have my first fill until 7/23! I am walking the treadmill everyday; have not been cleared for anything else yet. But trying to keep on a losing track so I don't get depressed. I really neeed the fill; it's all will power at this point.

It's really good to hear from all of you and to know I am not alone. Everyone is in my thoughts - when it's tough going, I think about everyone who is going throught the same struggle!

My next follow up is July 10th and I am pretty sure I'm getting my first fill. I would hope so considering I am def. hungry a lot more and think I can eat more than I should (between 3/4c and 1+c) per meal. I'm def. ready to crank this puppy up a bit!

Booked my first fill this morning!!

July 11th

My doctor waits 8 weeks to do a fill. My appetite is slowly returning, but I have to remember not to fall into the same traps that I used to...have to remember that this is a mental thing for me as well.

My 1st fill date is August 7th.

I changed our smiley faces since most of us are agreeing that the hunger is coming back and a thumbs up for that is just NOT approptiate

Haha, good idea!

I was banded June 4th and go for my first fill on July 15th. I don't really feel like I need a fill yet but maybe that will change between now and then.

My band date was 6/24 and I am scheduled for my first fill on 7/11.
