I had surgery on the 3ed of March and ever since i could eat solid food I haven't really had any restriction so today I finally got to go see my surgeon and get a fill everything went well A little stinging but that was it. He put in 2cc and i'm eating dinner now and I can still eat just as much as before. I dont know what i should do, should I call him and be like I can't tell a difference at all with the fill..etc. or wait a little while or what. Anyone gone through this. Im at 197 and i was 208 surgery day. Thats not a lot of loss there. I think i need like a 4cc fill or more.

Chillax there girlie.

Sometimes fills can take a few days to take affect. And see how it feels in the morning. Mornings are always tighter for most people.

You have plenty of time to lose weight. You'll find your sweetspot. Don't give up hope.

Though I do understand your disappointment. Expecting something you didn't get is always frustrating.

Hang in there.

Hi Ashley I had my first fill today also ... although on liquids today and mushies tomorrow ..back on solids after that.

Dont know if of help I was advise whats best is to avoid any easy foods , ie mushy easy eating types , as when restriction is low these very easily slip thro the band. He told me to eat more solid types and lots of veg , as these should remain in pouch longer and the feeling of fullness greater and for longer.

Now I know only words as not eating solids yet , I have yet to put into practice.

Either way I would hang in there .. what might seem an easy day today , might be different tomorrow when eating something different . I think best to treat as a learning curve initially and for a few days .. then im sure like me we will get to know our limitations if any or downfalls ....

wishing you every success :thumbup:

oohh and Juli 188lbs .... thats the way to go Girl , congrats on you weight loss

I have my first fill on Monday the 27th. I also haven't had any issues with food other than not chewingmy food enough. I am worried that my fist fill wont be enough. Glad to hear it only stung a little. I to am a little disappointment that I haven't lost more. But from everything I have read on this web site everyone it different and everything we are going through is perfectly normal. Keep in touch if you want.

Hi. I had NO restriction after my surgery, NONE after my first fill, and NONE after my second fill. The third one was the one that made a big difference. After reading about people's fills on here, and from my own experiences, it can take a few days, or even a week or two, for the full effect of a fill to be felt. My doctor gave me my fills 1 month apart - and no sooner. Wait and see if you feel any different as time goes by, try different foods, etc. It is hard to wait and just rely on good old willpower until you get restriction, but you will get there. Just takes a little time and a little patience. Good luck to you!! Becky
