I had my surgrey on 3/5/08 I've lost 17 pounds so far 15 before surgrey and 2 pounds after. Starting weight was 207 and current weight is 192. I get my first fill tomrrow north west weight loss center in everett wa. I'm little worried though I've been strugglingto hold my weight loss off and been trying to eat 1000 cal daily. But I have no restriction and I feel that I need big fill imediately before i go backwards.. I guess I'll find out tomorrw. Plus tomrrw my best friend also getting banded so tomrrw is very special day for me and my friend amanda

Hi! I just had my first fill a few days ago at NWWLS! I'm feeling much better with the fill (had a hard time not eating everything in sight before). How are things since your fill?

Or at least I feel like I am. I was banded on March 18th and am finding that I can eat almost normally. Yesterday, I had 3 meals, not preband size, but 3 full meals none the less. :crying: I used to have a kolache, two donuts and a dr. pepper for Breakfast and today I had a kolache and a Protein Shake. This has managed to keep me full through lunch, so I just had a banana, but for some reason, I still feel like I'm gorging myself - in my head I'm "eating way too much". Am I? Should I be able to eat this much? Keep in mind I don't get my first fill until May 8th. I just know that I'm going to gain all of my weight back. It's only 17 poinds, but I suffered a lot to lose that weight.:crying:

I can only advise to stick to the post-surgery diet. I am supposed to eat 3 meals (1/4 cup each), and one snack. Both before my fill two weeks ago and after, I could probably eat all day. they say it will take a bit to get to the "green zone " Perfect fil, not hungry and still losing. I have lost a total of 30 but an very frustrated because even after a very traumatic first fill, I feel as if I could eat forever.
