I finally got my fill. I have lost 3 lbs since the 17th. I am very restricted now. There has never been anything I couldn't eat and now there are a few things that won't go down. I have never vomitted but tonight I did. It was horrible and I can't figure out if it was the amount I ate, that I ate too fast, or if it was what I ate. I had refried beans with cheese and a mini-taco (home made). I am not sure....maybe it could have been the lettuce or the taco shell. Anyway, I will stay away from both anyhow. This was my first solid food since my fill. I hope the vomitting doesn't last, I don't know if I can handle that. I have the 11cm band and I had 4cc my first fill and I got 3cc this time. It took the radiologist 35 minutes to stick my port. My port area is very sore and hurts more when I eat. He said it kept moving everytime he touched it. It made me sick and I felt like I would pass out because he took so long. I am glad it is over and hope he doesn't do my next one. The first one was over in about ten minutes.

Sandy, that's great! What a drag about the radiologist with the bad aim, though. It could be decades before the band is ubiquitous enough so that most people responsible for doing fills really know what they're doing, I guess. ;)

Good luck with your eating! Let us know how it goes in the next week or so. And watch the weight come off!!
