Hi everyone... thought that I would try and get some info to maybe help me out here. I was banded oct 4th and was doing real good,,between,the pre-op diet and after surgery I lost 23ilbs total. Now that I went back on solid food and being carefull what I'm eaing [cause I don't go for my fill till nov19th],,I put on 5lbs. this makes me soooooooooo upset that I'm scared to death to eat at all. Is this normal? Can anyone give some tips how to eat with this thing till I get my fill,,,,please help ( I don't really want to throw in the towel and don't want to feel like a failure.

I got a recommendation from this site for a fill doctor in the Chicago area. I had my first fill with him on Aug. 17th and he was great. Very reasonable cost and he uses flouro. If anyone in this area would like his information, let me know and I'll pass it along. TMckee
