My first fill is scheduled for 9/5!! I am excited!! The nurse did warn me that most people gain weight the last 2 weeks before the first fill. That means my fill will be done 4 weeks and 2 days after my surgery!!

After reading your post I called my Dr. to schedule mine but, I have to wait on till Tuesday when I go in! Darn it!LOL

My first fill is scheduled for Sept. 18th - 6 weeks post-op.

My first fill is scheduled Sept. 3! The next new adventure!

My first fill is scheduled for Sept. 18th. My doctor makes us wait six weeks for our first fill. I hope I can make it till then.

That is great! My dr. makes you wait six weeks!

Cool Momto5, I think Lellow is being done the same day!!

Congrats!! That really exciting news. Some people have to wait six weeks.

My doctor just told me he will do my first fill four weeks post op but I cannot schedule it until after I see him one week post surgery.

My first will be on 8/29 and I am so looking forward to it. After being off liquids my appetite has come back with full force:drool: and I am trying hard to make good choices and to watch my portions.

I am probably gonna be starving by the time I have my first fill! I have to wait 8 weeks!!!!! I cannot start mushies until I see the doctor on Sept 3rd!!!

Ro is right (you've got a fantastic memory, matey!) my first fill is the 5th of Sept. I am still eating less than I used to to get full - about 1 cup of food per meal. But I'm not losing any weight (or if I am, it's very slow now) so until my first fill, my main goal is not to gain any weight.

I am in the same place. Not losing. So I am looking forward to the fill.

Hey all! I'm back from TX, gosh it's hot:) I have hit the weight loss wall too. I have lost two lbs since the week after surgery, but my clothes are fitting much differently. My doc makes us wait 6 weeks. I am just trying to pre-measure the food so I don't cheat. THe trip was tough...the food was preplanned, but I never knew what it was until they put it on the table. Day one was chicken and steak tips with corn on the cob...uggh! I did not take a plate and 4 waiters tried to put one down. I sipped on water and then mixed a shake after. I also bumped into a dear friend who is having this done too, so we got a chance to chat! Thankfully I brought a ton of shake powder with me. I'm looking forward to reading through the new posts and getting caught up with everyone. Moe

I'm actually able to eat everything right now - steak, rice, anything. So far nothing's gotten stuck, so I'm assuming I'm going to need a fill or else everything is going through.

Last night I had chicken nuggets because I worked late and it was all the canteen had left, and they didn't even make me feel full, they were so processed. So until my fill, I need to be extra careful about what I eat.

I thought about trying to cut the meat/chicken up into small bits and try it, but was afraid to being so far away from my surgeon. I'm on regular foods next week:) WHOO HOO! I still do quite a few shakes though, they are super easy at work.

Today I was out and about (first day of school!) and I was running around town all day. Anywho, I realized I forgot to give my 3 grader his lunch money so I went to Jack in the box and got him a chicken sandwich. I also got myself their new (I guess it's new) grilled chicken strips...it was go good! I ate tiny little bites and it was SUPER MOIST, I had no problems and felt full after just a couple of them. I've been meaning all day since I did that to check the nutrition on them. I hope their not to bad because they were good!
