Need Lap Band Buddy / Mentor Looking for Male Mentor banded 11/12
Mgrmitch replied to Mgrmitch's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi Steve, Well I had the first fill today!! My first fill was 4cc. No numbing or anything. One shot and straight in. I have the realize band, maybe that's different. I did feel the saline going in. It felt really weird very hard to describe. I did wind up gaining 3 pounds. With the power outage and all the snow we had here we had to stay in hotels 3 nights and an empty apartment my boss ownes for the remainder of the time and eat whatever I could get my hands on. As fart as the fill So far so good, I did have a low fat cottage cheese a few hours later (don't tell). Last week I think I felt some restriction. My port is also noticeable to me at least. It is on my lower stomach right side. I asked her why she put the port there today. She said during the operation there some bleeding from this cut which had to be fixed so instead of making another long cut she put the port there. If i want to move the port at a later time she can do that without a problem, but not without a cost:) Hopefully i will be able to eat something for Xmas dinner. Have a great Holiday!! -

Hi Steve, How did the first fill go?? We had lost power here with an Ice storm for 8 days. I pretty sure I have gained 4 pounds. We had to eat whatever was around and at hotels. Getting my first fill tomorrow. I still feel I can eat whatever I want with very little restriction. I am hoping for a good amount of CC fill to start to feel full and restriction. -

Hi Steve,
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving. I did have small amount of turkey,gravy, greenbean cass and a little stuffing. Even had a slice of my birthday cake. Everything went down without problems although i my stomach did start making all the sounds:). How did it go with you?? I have been going to the gym every other day. I am doing 2 miles on the treadmill and 5 miles on the bike and a few weights. I am Back to work for Monday:(. Are you better with drinking water. It seems I can eat pretty much everything at this point. But i am not hungry so thats good. My first fill is scheduled for 12/23. Let me know how yours goes!!

Since I start on full foods tomorrow (Tuesday) I won't have any restrictions for Thanksgiving. I started on my diet back in April, so I haven't been on as fast of a track as you have, what you've done is remarkable. But anyway, I decided that I give myself certain special days or holidays without restrictions. This way the days and weeks and months of dieting doesn't seem quite so endless. My daughter's graduation party was one of those days. So while I don't expect to really pig out on Thanksgiving, I won't deny myself some pumpkin pie either. I will get my first fill on Dec 17th, so Christmas should be pretty restricted by the band. What are your options for Thanksgiving?
