Wow it sounds like we were all banded around the same time. I just go my first fill last week. It's been a little hard as I thought the weight would come off easier. I have only lost 1 pound since my fill. I called the doctor and they are going to do another fill in a week or so. The hardest part for me is learning how to eat slower and chew my food better. I am also struggling with meal ideas. What do you guys find is the hardest part?
