Do I Need a Fill?

[bella71 0]

I had my surgery 3 weeks ago. I am currently eating soft Proteins like fish and mushing them up. I feel fine so far. I can consume about 4oz of Protein and a 1/2 cut of veggies and I feel full. No hunger pains.

Today I went to Legal Seafood for lunch and had some grilled trout with sauteed spinach. I ate the fish, but I wasn't able to finish the spinach. I have a 10cc band, and my surgeon put some saline in during surgery, but apparently it was so little that he did not measure it.

Question: Do I need a fill? I think more restriction would be good. I want to keep my food intake to under 1200 calories, but I don't want to get anything stuck, or have pb's.

Most Dr's want you to heal for 6 weeks before you get your first fill. I would call and check with his office.

My doc had me wait a month before my first fill...after the wait period, I would recommend it for sure.....
