First fill complete:)

[phenix1824 7]

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 ?

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

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 .
