4th Fill Today - Up to 6.5cc now

I'm really hoping this is the fill that will take me to my sweet spot (or close to it). Of course, I am on clear liquids now for at least the rest of the day so I won't know for awhile. But, for the first time, I can not guzzle a huge amount of water at once anymore. I can do about 4 oz at a time. I think that is a good sign. Woohoo!!! :wub:

And, I was able to confirm at my appointment that I have gained some lean body mass (muscle) and my body fat percentage is down to 48.6. The last time it was 49.6 so I lost a whole percentage point of body fat in four weeks which is awesome. I haven't been losing weight as quickly this month, but my clothes have been fitting better so I kinda figured I might be toning up. All that Jazzercise is paying off!

I brought my four year old daughter to this appointment because she's on spring break. I thought about having her go out of the room when I got my fill, but I just took her for her appointment at the pediatrition a couple weeks ago and she got four shots. So, I figured it shouldn't phase her too much to see me get one. She was a perfect little angel the whole time. I made sure to talk and smile through the whole thing so she would know I wasn't being hurt. She even brought her Barbie band-aids and put one on me when the fill was done. Such a cutie.

Let me know how fill #3 does. I go on April 9th for my third fill and am sooooo ready. Like you, my weight hasn't changed much but my cloths are falling off.

Best of luck!

Update... I'm not hungry! This is amazing. I've only had water, a cup of broth, and a protein shot for lunch (about three hours ago). And, I'm not hungry. I can hardly believe it.

I've never felt this 'not hungry' since getting surgery. Even right afterwards when most people say they don't even think about food. Or, after my other fills. I was always sooooooo hungry during the time my doctor told me I could only have liquids. But, this time, I am not hungry at all. This might be it!!! :->

That's encouraging! I'm ready to feel "not hungry". :wub:

I hope to find my sweet spot soon.

i have been reading your post and they are so informative !Thanks!!!

I just had surgery May 19th and I have zero restriction and I am hungry and I can eat normal and not feel any different. i lost 14 lbs the first week--but the second week I haven't lost anything--and I think it's because I am eating way more than I should. I can't seem to find a protein drink that I like--any suggestions? What are these protein shots you are talking about? I get my first fill on June 14th--two more weeks--i'm so afraid I am going to gain by then!
