Yesterday i had my first fill. It was a lot easier that i thought it would be. The Doctor told me not to worry about the numbers that was his job, so i have no idea how much fluid i have in my band. It looked like i had 2cc from surgery and he put in 3cc. I am not sure it just looked like it 5cc when he pulled all the fluid out then pushed it back in. I am kind nervous about my fill. I was doing so good before. I could everything, pizza, rice, bread, just smaller amounts. My goal for this was to able to live a "normal" life and be able to lose a health amount of weight. Then maintain it! I know if i have to much fluid i can always have an un-fill. We shell see! Mothers day is sunday and i will still be on soft foods:bored:. I am down to 219. I have going to the gym and working my butt off! I want to be down to 200 by summer! Its gonna take lots of work!

i am getting my first fill that day as well!

I get VERY tired, weak, and dizzy. I was banded 3-23-10. I have not had a fill yet but if i feel like this now i am scared of what i am going to feel like after a fill. Thanks for the post. I thought it was in my head.

I cannot believe i am almost 5 weeks post-op. I feel good! Better than i have in a long time. I do get this wired feeling of a lump in my throat from time to time. Its sometimes drives me crazy. It does not hurt its just annoying! If it wasn't for that everything would be perfect. I have asked about it before. I had one person say its restriction but it often happens with out having eaten. :smile2: I just sent my doctors office an email asking what it may be. My weight loss has really slowed down. I am ok with losing it slowly as long as i am losing and not gaining. :wink2:

yes! my doc don't ever use it!

I am not sure whats going on but i have been getting dizzy/light headed ALOT! I thought maybe i was not getting enough calories but after tracking everything i eat i don't think thats is it. I have been taking my multi vitamin, calcium and doing at least two protein shakes a day......WHAT UP? I am starting to get worried!:tongue_smilie:

oh GOD! I sure hope not! I don't think so!

Does the feeling of having a lump in my throat mean i ate some thing i shouldn't have?:biggrin:

i am only 2 weeks post op and on mushies . I have noticed that every time i try to eat something other than " liquids" i get this feeling? Today it was scrambled egg.:biggrin:

I too am on purred foods and i have no idea what to eat besides eggs. I am not a big fan of tuna, so my question to you is what else do you eat? I am so tired of soup.

Today i start mushies! I feel so good! sometimes when i do to much i feel a little pain in my band area then i realize ohh-oh gotta take a brake. its tuff to "recover" with a 2 year old and a 4 year old taring apart my house. Laundry still needs to get done floor need to get moped..ect. I have not won the lottery yet so i have to do all that my self. I got on the scale this morning 223!!! (started at 245) I officially love my band. Hopefully i will love it even more when i can eat real food. I hate to vomit so right now my prayers include please lord never let me vomit.

Can you have protein shakes? That seems to ease my hunger. I also eat cream of chicken soup and egg drop soup they are both yummy and seem to fill me up too. Good luck!
