11. Had my first band adjustment today

It's now been 6 weeks since my gastric band procedure. The doc almost didn't do an adjustment today, because I've been feeling some restriction without any fluid in the band. But we settled on a 2 ml fill, rather than they usual 4 ml for a first fill. I didn't realize I'd have to go back on a liquid diet for 24 hours after each fill. We'll see how things go from here. I'm back to see her in another month, to see where I'm at, and to see if I need another adjustment. I'm down a total of 49 pounds since February, 19 of those since the surgery.
