Yes, 3 months later and I got my first fill. I was very VERY disappointed at my weigh-in. According to my scale at home I was down about 23 pounds but the doctor's scale said I was only down 16! Argh!

The appointment took all of 15 minutes and was painless. I went to the mall after though and felt sick to my stomach a little, I think it was from the barium I had to swallow for the fluro.

I had tomato soup for dinner tonight and it went down just fine.

Hope everyone is doing well!

dont beat yourself up over the difference in scales! time of day, what you were wearing, the scales themselves. all that can make a difference. try to look positively at it....you are DOWN 23 (16) pounds! better then up that amount, right?

keep up the good owrk.

I'm curious to know why it took 3 months before you had your first fill? I had my lap band on May 1st and had my 1st fill today....less than a month later.

Initially I had a big loss, but then it halted. I think that this fill will get me going in the right direction again!!

You know, its just the way my doctor does it. I don't know why. I was REALLY upset about it but it all worked out. I'm going in today for my 3rd fill!!
