I had the same experience-no change after the first fill. I could and was eating EVERYTHING! I tried to eat less but I was Hungry !!I had fill #2 on Aug 21 08 I did not do clear liquid after but I feel satisfied after eating. I lost 18 more pounds since 1st fill in June!!! My doc said dont worry everyone has to find "The right fill amount". My next fill Doc says I will go to the Hospital and do an xray to see just how much. Has anyone had that experience? Neway he says Iwill most likely be good after the next one apparently 3 is the magic #!! Someone tell me how they feel after fill #3

Hi I had my band on May 27 2008 in GA my surgeon is Dr Mejias. I feel great and have lost 15lbs so far. I get my first fill o the 26th of June. I notice I can tolerate more foods at this time and Iam not feeling as full I hope this will change with my fill.

I was banded on May 27th 2008 I had my first fill on June 26. I lost 14lbs but I can tolerate everything. I work nights on the weekends and find myself very hungry. What should I eat after midnight, today I ate a bag of chips! Can I get some tips on snacking with the band. I know they said dont snack but what about healthy snacks. I dont feel much different from my fill and did not do clear liquid again I just ate creamy soup after fill. My Doc said clear liquid 2-3 days after fill. Hope Iam not in trouble.

You can eat mashed potatoes even instant. Baked chicken breast, and fish. yogurt basically everything that is tender and you chew well. Staying away from the obvious pasta rice fried etc. Season the meat to taste and put it in the oven. Slow cookers are great for meals , you can do meat potatoes and veggies.

during the soft food stage a slowcooker is great for meals.

My doctor said that prior to your first fill it is just for healing. If you do loose during this time it is a added bonus. You are most likely to loose a significant amount after your fill- keep me posted. Dont get discouraged you did great loosing that much pre-op!

OMG that is a bummer! I get my fill on thursday. My doctor said after every fill you go back to clear liquid for 3-4 days and slowly introduce soft foods. Are you aware of that all the doctors say different things I am interested in what others are being told.

I have not started exercising yet, my doc said 4-6wks but I plan on walking tomorrow. I think it is ok as long as no crunches or situps. When is it ok to do situps and crunches? How are you doing with liquids? I drank black herbal tea and puked for the 1st time- wont do that again!
