...to keep track of of the journey.
A little over two weeks out and got my first fill...

So apparently the timeline with the Realize Band allows for fills sooner. I got 2cc's in my band today and can feel restriction. I could feel it when I stood up on an empty stomach even. I'm on pureed foods today and soft foods tomorrow and then I'm ok to move onto solid foods!!!!!! My next appointment is June 3rd. The goal by then will be to lose 10 more pounds. I'm down 16!!! The fill was virtually painless though she did miss it on the first stab. It was good to hear that my port and band are in the right places. I'm cleared for exercise so I'm going to really turn up the heat.

Holy cow Wendy, I have to wait 6 weeks! What did the restriction feel like on an empty stomach? I'm so happy for you! Restriction already!!! -BGPosted 05-06-2009 at 09:04 PM by Band_Groupie

The restriction felt a little like there was something sitting in my stomach. When I sat up I instantly burped. Before the fill I hadn't eaten or drank anything all day. My appointment was at 10:30 and my fill didn't happen until noon. I was getting very hungry and once I had the fill I wasn't hungry any more. Then at 1:00 I went to get some lunch. I stoped at a restaurant and got a cup of broccoli soup. I had to sit there for about 30 minutes to eat it.
I'm kind of hoping I'm someone who will not need a bunch of fills and that I can do this with very little in my band, but if not then I'll just deal with it.Posted 05-06-2009 at 09:12 PM by WendyII
Updated 05-06-2009 at 10:17 PM by WendyII - Wow! How exciting! My first fill is scheduled for May 13th. I wish I could have went earlier (banded March 30th). I'll lost 20 lbs., and then it came to a scretching halt. I am so excited for you. Thanks for the information. Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.Posted 05-07-2009 at 02:15 PM by babertm
