I got my first fill

On Thursday August 13th,2009 I got my first fill in the Lap-Band. This was mile stone for me well one of many any how, I'm 5 weeks post opt so it was time to get that fist fill done. I have Large band on which is 14cc band and he fill it with 5cc saline I can kind of feel the restriction but I was told that it will take maybe another one before I full feel the effect of the fills. I'm so happy to have gotten this fill because it will help me along more with losing weight I now know it's all real it's really on it's not lie. My apatite has change dramatically over the past month I have gone from cleaning my plate to 3 bites of food and I'm full, which is normal now to maybe only take few bites of food and feel full it's good thing I'm no longer part of the clean plate club. I have noticed that sometimes I only eat 2 meals day sometime which alarmed me, so I asked Dr.Sawyna he told me that this is normal not to worry just make sure that when I eat that I get lots of protein. When I woke up this Morning Saturday I really felt the effect of the fill I was not hungry but my stoma my new stomach felt swollen which is normal for some people so I had to drink for while which helped them I had my breakfast but no lunch cause I was not hungry so it's all working and I'M feeling great.
