Fill ?

[BrwnEydGrl82 0]

I was just filled on Tuedsay for my first time- 2cc's in my 4 cc band. And I was told to stick to liquids for 3 days. My question is why do I need to be on liquids. I'm sure there is a good reason.. and I just want to know what that reason is.

Thank You!

With your first fill, they are unsure of 1)whether it is too tight, 2)whether all the swelling has gone down from surgery, 3) whether having a fill will further inflame the tummy (it always does for me) and 4) if you are overfilled. Liquids is a good way to make sure the swelling is down and to ease into eating with a fill. The first fill is always a tough one. You'll probably find out for the first time what being "stuck" feels like.

Just take it easy and follow dr's orders until you get the hang of things.

But yay! First fill!! Woot! Now you are working in "the fast lane" of bandster land. Enjoy!!

I agree with Karen. My doctor told me the stomach doesn't like being messed with. I have to treat it easy just like after I had surgery. Go with your doctor orders. Be patient.
