phenix1824 7 Posted March 18, 2013 Dr could only add .75 to my band. Started with 3cc on date of surgery . Between swelling from fill and actual fill .. Weekend has been a little rough .. Kept to clears and transitioned to softs this am. It's amazing how much restriction I feel. I can't keep to the 1cup rule before fill , it was too much . Now it's about 1/2-1/4 depending on meal ... Proteins first . Sound about right ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rojasanoll 920 Posted March 18, 2013 Yes, and follow doctor's directions. It is very important if you feel that restriction this early to eat Protein first. I'm surprised your doctor gave you a fill this soon after surgery. Most will wait until Stage 4 or later before you get any fills. Some doctor's want you to eat peoperly before a fill. This almost ensures any swelling completely gone. Best wishes 1 laurigee reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phenix1824 7 Posted March 18, 2013 I was on the prediet for 3 weeks before band and then again for 2 weeks of clears then fulls/soft with no nausea .. Or issues at all. Really I've just always heeded the restriction . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
