Got my first fill today since being banded on May 6, found that I have larger band rather than smaller one, but no problems at all with fill itself.

My surgeon puts the port in the shoulder area on left side, near the underarm area - I guess that makes it easier than in stomach or abdomen area.

Will be liquids today/tomorrow, but regular food after - before fill had no problem with chicken, steak, pork (except I could eat too much) and didn't stay full long. I'm not complaining about journey so far, just hoping it gets easier.

Congrats on your first fill- it felt like a milestone for me. Be aware it might not cause restriction, it took me 3 fills. You may have some for the first couple days due to swelling. Of course everyone is different, some people do get restriction from one fill. Best wishes on your journey.

I had pretty good resriction before I got a fill, therefore they only put .25cc in my band. I am now hungry all the time! It really makes me mad. How can tightening my band make me hungrier then before? Hope your luck is better then mine!

I am having a fill this upcoming Tuesday. I can't wait because I feel like I am eating TOO much. For instance, I was able to eat a veggie burger on a flour wrap with a slice of cheese and veggies the other night. I am not sure I should be eating that much, even though it is healthy stuff. My surgeon does not want me to weigh or measure my food but rather eat slowly and go by my body's signals. I haven't stepped on a scale at home (I would drive myself nuts stepping on it everyday if I had one) so I don't know what my weight actually is. oh well...

Congratulations. It does get easier as you go along. It usually takes a couple of fills (unless your doctor is aggressive in his/her fills) before you feel good restriction. Keep up the great work. Your doing awesome. Just remember the more you fill, the better you have to chew and be sure to cut your food into tiny peices. Eat slow.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
