I just got my first fill on Wednesday but still don't really feel restricted to how much I can eat. He told me that if I didn't lose at least 4 lbs this month to come back for another fill.

Well I've waited 6 weeks for today....I'm getting my band filled for the first time since surgery. I'm excited but nervous because I don't know what to expect. But I am definitely looking forward to losing more weight.

It has been 3 weeks since surgery and I have another 3 weeks until I get my first fill. I've lost 16 pounds total, which includes the weight I lost on my liquid diet. I am ready to get my first fill so I can see some "real" weight loss. I can still pretty much eat what I want, but I do get fuller faster and have been trying to watch what I eat but it's still hard at times.
