scorrea 95 Posted August 1, 2012 I had my first fill today. I am so excited. I think I feel more excited than I did getting the band initially. I feel like this is the real start of my future. I know not to expect much restriction, but I am making a step in the right direction. I got 3cc put in, I am on a liquid diet for 24 hours and then a day of mushies, then back to regular food as I can tolerate it. on the down side.. hungry already!! but I will get through this, this part is nothing compared to the initial post op diet! 2 mykdzmom and fericito reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am also super hungry right now too lol. My Protein shake really didn't cut it . I go back every 4 weeks until I'm at my 'sweet spot'. They add 1cc each visit until I'm close and then they will go to 0.5cc and 0.25cc if necessary. They said that the goal with my current fill is to not gain any wait and with the next 2 fills or so I should start going down steadily. I can't wait to be a success story. i feel like for the first tie in my life, I could be one. 3 scorrea, mykdzmom and JLopez reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawismylife 41 Posted August 3, 2012 You are going to be hungry on the shakes - they go right trough the band. Remember, they are liquid. When you eat real food you will start to feel the difference. Enjoy the journey! That first restriction is exciting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fericito 138 Posted August 3, 2012 I had mine yesterday. I am starving but will get through this. I am jealous of you guys, they only put 1.5cc in mine. BUT the good news is they want me to come back every two weeks until green zone so I hope to be there soon. Best of luck to you!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
