my doc then gave me an adjustment of 1.5cc

im really surprised because i have only just started my mushie stage

Wow, that was fast. I think the average time is about 4 to 6 weeks post-op. Are tolerating everything okay? Are you able to get the mushies down without a problem? I'd be curious to know. Before he put the fill in did you have any sensation of being restricted, just curious, okay nosey.

Just remeber to be very careful about what you eat and how you eat, slowly with teeny tiny bites and chew until whatever you're eating is almost liquid. Take on new foods slowly and carfully. When are you suppose to go onto real food?

My pleasure, so glad you belong to this board because someone is always giving out the same great advice to each other. I know it has been helpful for me and I'm glad you have obviously taken the right attitude towards it. Don't worry 1.5cc isn't usually a problem for most of us and there are alot of folks here who would give their right arms to have been filled so much so quickly. That's one of the biggest complaints right after someone has been banded.

Good Luck

Happy Holidays
