I had my first fill about 1 1/2 weeks ago. My surgeon gave me my first fill during surgery, 1cc, and I got 1.5 cc at my first fill. Right away, I knew that it was a little too tight but I thought I could handle it. I have been on liquids since the fill. Does anyone have an idea on how much weight they lost to loosen their band enough to eat mushy or soft foods?

Any replies appreciated.:thumbup:

I have no idea how much weight you'd have to lose in order for the band to loosen up, but that is beside the point and not how the band is designed to work! If you are only able to keep liquids down, then you need a partial unfill.... PERIOD. You should be not only eating mushies by now, but should be enjoying solid food! Liquids and mushies will pass right thru the band...might as well not even have one.

Call your doctor!

Thanks for the advice. I will call my doctor right away for an appointment.
