first fill

I got my first fill yesterday and he put five cc in my band.  I still can't tell any difference yet, very disappointed , have to wait a month for my next fill

I know its frustrating but hang in there. It's extremely important to go slow and not get too tight.

Hmmm,every time I got a fill, I did full liquids for 1 day, then soft or mushy food for at least one day, then proceeded with caution.

So, I never felt much difference with fills because I ate so carefully.

I also made a game of seeing 'how little' it took to satisfy me, instead of 'how much' I could eat.

I lost 130 pounds in 17 months using that approach and have been maintaining for 3 1/2 years.

Every fill made a difference to me but many people need several fills. I was allowed to eat the next day but always took it carefully just in case! 

Don't worry, you're about to start feeling it!  Every time I went for a fill it felt like I never had one.  By day 3 it made itself known to me.  You want to be very careful not to get too much, it is not pleasant and can cause problems.
