Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Hello All - I'm sure this question has been asked many times, but would be grateful for answers from the experienced please. Yesterday morning I had my first fill - 5ml in a 10ml Swedish band (boy was that a strange sensation when it tightened). Anyway I had very little to eat before I saw the surgeon and was hungry when I got there but not hungry straight after. He told me to go onto solid food immediately and eat only 3 meals a day - said I wouldn't need the snacks, and to go back and see him sooner than 4 weeks if I felt my restriction wasn't good. 2 hours after the visit I was hungry and had a cup a soup, less than 2 hrs after that I had a full bread and butter plate lunch (mini roast dinner), and noticed my eating had slowed down alot, then 2.5hrs later hungry again and had a couple of rice cakes. By dinner time I scoffed about 3 cups of food grazing all night which didn't seem to be much different to my eating pattern pre fill. Have I read somewhere that for some people the fill doesn't kick in immediately. I'm doing OK so far today and have called the surgeon and left a message and received a message back to call him and get back in to see him ASAP. What are others experiences with fills please? I have not lost weight for 4 weeks and anxious to get the ball rolling and did not expect to be able to eat so much food yesterday or be hungry every few hours. Before I make the huge hike back to see him, can anyone please advise their own experiences. Many thanks Cherie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
