Please share what you could and couldn't eat after your first fill.

I was liquids x1 day then mushies x1 then no restrictions. I didnt get much restriction from the 1st and will hopefully get more after my 2nd on the 23rd. Just take it easy and chew well and take small bites. You may not feel restriction for 3 to 4 days from what I've read and as I said, I didnt feel any. Dont let it get you down if you dont, just remember its baby steps for it to be successful.

I got my first fill this week (4 ccs) and haven't had any issues. I've played it pretty safe though. The "wildest" thing I tried was pizza. I toasted it before eating it and it went down fine. I couldn't even finish a slice, where before surgery I'd eat 3 or 4. No crust though.

I had to do 2 days liquids and 2 days purees finely on regular food and I go in for another fill in 2 weeks.

What are fills?

What are fills?

As you probably know, your band is like an inner tube wrapped around the top part of your stomach with a port. When it is placed usually it will have just a little fluids in it it placed at surgery. After surgery you will visit your doctor and the dr or nurse will likely inject more Fluid in the port therefore tightening the band around your stomach. This may take several visits to gradually give you the results the band is intended for.

Have you already had your surgery or are you still in the research phase?
