First Fill - How much did you get?

[RockinRedhead4 0]

I was banded March 25th 2013. My first post op visit I was having some vomiting and nausea therefore they chose not to give me a fill( I did not receive a fill during surgery). I weighed in today and they did give me a small fill but they had a hard time accessing my port. I was getting a little frustrated with my weight gain and weight loss but when I went to the doctors they said I was down eight pounds from my last appointment. I can sympathize with you as far as the eating now and the family pushing food my brother in law is seriously a food pusher. After my surgery I was given a card did if I show it to people when I go out to eat it allows me to either order of the children's menu or order smaller portions. I have found for me to keep from snacking I write down every single thing I eat even if it's only just a bite and I only eat at the dining room table. My motto is far as writing down everything is "if you bite it write it" I also keep a journal with me so anytime I feel the urge to snack I will write in it why I feel I need to eat, I also made myself a chart for the bathroom where my scale is it helps me to keep track of my progress. I don't know if any of these options might help you, but I know they have helped me. Good luck to you

I was told after any fill or if they pull Fluid out I will be on liquid diet for two days then puree foods for another two days then I go back to normal eating.

I got a fill Wednesday. I was on a liquid diet for two days and now mushies for two days. It's so your stomach can get use to the change again.

I am frustrated! I got 5.5 cc in my 12 cc band my first feel and feel absolutely no restriction! I can (but choose not to) literally eat as much as I could before the fill. I know I'm supposed to wait a month for my next, but I'm debating on cling Monday and seeing If I can get more Fluid added. Is there a reason to wait between fills?

I'm sure your stomach had to get use to the fill. It's going through another healing process. This one just doesn't take as long.
