Got my fill on...

Okay all I got my first fill yesterday. 4cc total. wow I was a little shocked I didn't think he would do so much. I've read other bands and have seen 2-3 cc's as the norm.

Anyway I had soup for dinner and Cream of Wheat for breakfast. I just had a cheese Quesadilla. I was only able to eat one and 1/2 peices of it. Last week I could have eaten the whole thing. WOW

I am elated. I was wondering when I would feel the effects. Now I have. I know there could be some swelling, but I like the feeling. I hope it stays for a while.

I can't get another fill for a month. I'll let you know.

You are on your way! :) Happy losing, and good luck!

I love the level of restriction I have right now -- not so much that I have problems getting the food down (and I haven't found anything that I can't eat) but not so little that I'm hungry or eating too much. I'd be perfectly happy if it stayed this way since I'm also losing weight. Guess I'll just have to see how it goes.

I'm glad you're doing so well!

Okay, so I have ben eating but foundout I can't eat leftovers. I had left over chicken and I guess it drys out a little but it got stuck and was the hardest thing to eat.

Since the fill I have to really watch what I eat for now.

After each fill my doc always tell me I should stay on liquid diet and then mushies for a week or so to allow my stomach to calm down (stomachs don't like to be messed with).
I've had 9 fills till now - my doc is very conservative with fills (he does 0,5cc each time...) which can be quite frustratiing...
