lap band first fill

Just had the first fill, do not know what to expect.  Had clear liquids this pm, feel okay. Am i worried about nothing?  I had been feeling not too full so hope this helps.  I have been bored with the food not too sure what I should eat.  I am still scared to take real food meat, chiken and chew.  I stick to soup, refreid beans, pudding, jello all SF but know I need to try to eat more normal stuff.  Any ideas? 

I never noticed much difference after my first fill.  My second fill was the most noticeable for me as far as restriction goes. 

The trick here is to chew chew chew and more chewing.

I can't eat white meat of chicken yet. It is too dry.  Moist meat is the best for me.

My family went to a Mexican restaurant tonight and I had some of their refried beans with a little fajita meat mixed together.  That seems to help make the meat go down easier.

Hi, it is scary when you are starting your journey following surgery. It has been drilled into us not to vomit or aggravate the band. If you are supposed to be eating real food, start slow and chew well. You need to start eating real food so when you go back to your surgeon he can help you get towards your sweet spot. Start out with some chili or chunky vegetable soup for lunch. As long as you take it slow you should do fine. Good luck. Mona
