How do you feel after your fills?

[Gaylancsu 28]

I didn't read anything on message boards prior to the band... I just read mostly medical journals and stuff the doctor referred me to. While this can be a great forum, you may also find some very negative people and lots of misinformation... take it for what it is and ALWAYS consult your doctor and his staff to sort out the realities.

I had my first fill yesterday. I had 2cc put in at surgery, the PA added 1 more cc yesterday. I was so freaked out going in and IT WAS NO BIG DEAL. Drinking the Water afterwards I experienced the gurgle sensation. She told me I could eat mushies today, which I am eating a blend of Greek yogurt with cottage cheese right now that I hit puree a few extra times on and I can feel it filling me up (I was up to eating nearly 2 cups of food prior to the fill).

My doctor's office said their avg patient, while losing weight, will eat a cup of food per meal... but they said it really varies. everyone's stomach is different and they have some who eat less and some who can eat more. Even though I was eating 1-2 cups of food I was still losing some weight, but I knew I could eat less and didn't want to get hungry so soon.

i feel fine while having the fill and for the rest of the day. but the next morning my abdomen feels a little sore. not at port site, but inside. just aches. but goes away in time to consume solids again. doc says the squeezing of the organ causes swelling. makes sense.

That's EXACTLY how I feel. Sore. After the two days of liquids, when its time for solids, I feel fine.

I got my 1st fill Nov. 6th. I believe my band only holds 5 cc so my Dr. gave me 2.5

I went to eat right after my fill and was able to eat cottage cheese. Since I was still hungry I had a few nachos from my dates plate at the Yardhouse... I was not restriced to liquids or mushies.

I felt a little restriction while I was getting the injection and it beagn to fade.

I was able to eat the next day in the morning & in the afternoon. I didn't feel too much restriction & I still don't. As long as I chew it well, it will go down.

I get my 2nd fill Dec 4th hopefully it will be tighter...

Don't forget, everyone is different though.
