had my first fill today 4cc. can a anyone tell me how they felt after their first fill. what kinds Soup did you eat and did it fill you up. i applebees and got the endless soup and salad. is didnt eat the salad but had three bowls of Tomato Soup. is that wrong. i think maybe because it was liquids. i jus wanna know how you felt afterwards with hunger and fullness. i hope its just because it was liquides. ttyl xoxo

Soup like Tomato Soup does nothing for me as far as feeling full. I try to eat less but it is just me doing it not the band. I also eat cream of chicken soup for the first couple of days because it has Protein. I have had three fills and was worried that even this last one did not do much good but once I tried to eat more solid food I realized that I had restriction. I was getting very discouraged but feeling a lot better now. I bet you will be able to tell a diffrence once you are eating solid food. Just be careful and eat very very slow. Good Luck!

I would say the Portion Control overall is the goal of having the lap band . I would suggest you cut portions so that the weight loss can be achieved. I know I try to eat smaller amounts just on my own because I want to get to my goal weight as soon as I can. Good luck!

I fwlt no diffwrence after my first fill of 4cc's. My band was empty after surgery. I didn't feel ANY difference until my 4th fill.

I felt no difference after my first fill, no restriction at all it seems like. I have my 2nd fill on Thursday, so I hope it helps me some.

i too just had my first fill yesterday. I have to eat liquids for the next 3 days and it's hard because i really hated this part of the process. How long do you need to eat liquids only (if any) before going back to solids?

I just had my fill too. My dr recommends day 1 of liquids and day 2,3 of soft foods. Atleast that's what I think I remember since it's been almost 5 months since my last one!
