Thank you guys for giving me your view on things!! I was a little nervous about fill number 2, but I went in this morning to see my Doctor, and he agreed I needed the 2nd fill and gave me 2 more cc's. So now I have 5cc's in a 10cc band. I'm on liquids today, mushies tomorrow, and back to regular food on Wednesday. The liquids are going down just fine and are keeping me full, so I'm super excited that this was a good decision

Hi All, So just a little background I had my surgery on 5/5/11 and my first fill on 6/1/11 of 3 c.c. The weight I lost so far is due greatly to the liquid post-op diet and mushie food stage, of course, and now I am eating about 3/4- 1 cup of food per meal, and loosing nothing. I am working out every other day I jog 3 miles on the treadmill, and lift free weights, and drink any where from 64-80 oz of Water a day. The problem is I have to stop myself once the "measured" food is gone, because I don't feel full, I have read similar post on this site of not getting real restriction until they have received multiple fills, which i don't mind waiting for, but my question is how soon is too soon to get another fill? So I called my Dr.'s office to see what they thought and they told me I should come in on Monday to receive another fill, because i haven't lost any weight since my 1st fill, and I should be feeling full. What do you all think... Thanks in advance for any advice!!

Hey, that's great!
I know the first 2 weeks were rough for me especially being on only liquids Lol I get my first fill too on June 1st so I'm very very excited and fingers crossed that I will feel some type of restriction...(as reading here that a lot of people usually don't, which worries me) Any how glad to here your doing well keep me posted =)

Hey London, I am doing much, much better than i was. thank you so much for asking.
my scale hasn't budged since surgery day though. i guess it's good that i'm not gaining, but i'm not losing either. grumble. other than that, i'm looking forward to my first fill on june 2nd. hopefully things will start to move then..plus i get to start really exercising. walki...

Started the mushies and now I have an upset tummy!

Hey Emmster! I just started mushies as well this week and found that sweet potatoes don't work for me, I think since my liquid diet I've become very sensitive to sugars and a lot of the "sugar free" items that contain sugar alcohol can also cause upset stomachs... a lot of them say so on the product so I would avoid them aswell... I think this is pretty normal though as we just came off of a liquid fast and are now re- introducing foods back to our body... any how congrats on the loss so far -
