I got my band on 9/11/12. So far, so good. I just tried some cream of wheat for the first time mixed with Protein powder...... Not as good as I thought it would be, but was nice to feel something a little more solid in my stomach.

At first I was so afraid to even drink anything taking these little baby sips, but honestly I've realized I really don't think I have any restriction but haven't had a fill yet. Has anyone had their first fill???? Was wondering if there's a big difference?

I was banded 9/6 I haven't had a fill yet but I do feel restriction. I get very full from less than a cup and it last about 3 1/2 to 4 hours. it might be because I'm still swollen but I can totally tell a difference from now and pre band

I have Greek yogurt for Breakfast they come in 6oz but I never finish it so I save the rest for a snack. for lunch I have a soft boiled egg or fat free chili or fat free refried Beans with a little salsa And for dinner I have tuna with no mayo. and for Snacks I have yogurt or apple sauce. I still get head hunger but I drink my fluids to get over that. I've also been Walking two miles a day

Hmmm maybe that's why I don't feel full then, because I really haven't started on food yet. Thanks for responding. It gives me hope that I'll feel much better once I can actually eat something!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
