Tomorrow I get my first fill. I am so ready. The past two days I have been soooo hungry and have found myself falling back into old bad habits. I am hoping the fill will make the difference and get me back on track. I am not sure how much of a fill I will get the first time, but I am hoping it will give me some restriction.:blushing:

I made some poor eating choices 2 weeks ago (about 5 weeks after surgery) and experienced some weight gain. When I went for my fill the doctor was very firm about sticking to the proper food to eat & way to eat them. Also about exercise. It was hard to hear because I was already hard on myself. The fill has really helped & I have had an excellent week of eating well & exercising every day! I did have my first "frothing" episode a few days ago eating cantalope of all things. I think I ate too fast & didn't chew enough. I won't being doing that again!

Well, I'm 8days post 1st fill (2cc in 10cc band) and I sure now understand what my nutritionist and folks said pre-op about "you will have to work the band first until you reach YOUR sweet spot". I'm determined not to go over my 4oz meal limit, but it's hard. I'm just so thankful I listened to them and have my mindset straight!! And someone told me I was taking the easy way out having WLS? HA!!! I'm going to be struggling next 5wks before my 2nd fill. (Part of being mindset is making myself wait it out and not call my doc to wine about needing it sooner. I have to prove to myself I can do this!)

yay I got my first fill today, it was no big deal, I just hate this whole, back to liquids thing. I'm starving!

Allison, I hope you are doing OK...I had a clear protein drink the second day because I got a headache so bad....it will be time to eat soon for you! Good Luck!

Well, I am 2 weeks out of my first fill. Things were going great but 2 days ago I began to make poor eating choices again and slipped into bad eating. Unfortunately sugary foods go down easily. I am writing this to give myself strength to get back on track. I am starting strong and healthy again now. I thought this fill would do it but I think I need more. thank you for this venue for writing.

It is difficult. I had found some ice cream that was 35% less calories, Cookies and cream one of my all time faves. Well, I noticed one serving wasn´t enough, had to have another bowl. I did that two days in a row, and then WHAM! What was I thinking? Got up the next morning, put the carton in the sink, poured dish washing liquid on it, and use the sprayer to totally ruin it. Man it was difficult to do, I still wanted it! But when it all washed down the drain, I felt POWERFUL!

YOU CAN DO IT!:cool2:
