I got my first fill today, Yahoo. Banded 12/19/07. I haven't lost in the last two weeks and been eating too much. Didn't put any more weight on but sure wanted to lose.

I am excited to get jump started again, with the liquids for a couple of days and then soft foods for another couple of days. The the mushies are not so much Protein, but it's only a couple of days.

It felt very strange getting the fill. I am on insulin so I am used to the shots, that didn't bother me. But didn't know how I was supposed to feel. :ohmy:Hurt my chest having the liquid in there but I guess that is the air. I can't burp at will so it took a little while before that feeling was gone. I feel o.k. now and again excited about losing more in the next few weeks.

I'll have to ask at my next appointment what size my band is, I got 6 cc's today in my fill.

I have a 10cc band and just had my 5th fill on Tuesday which brought me up to 7.5 ccs and finally I have restriction. I didn't lose any weight from my first week after surgery until about my 3rd fill. It can be discouraging, but I have lost 3.5 pounds since Tuesday because I finally have restriction and finally know what everyone is talking about! Be patient!(I know it's hard!)
