2nd Fill Tomorrow

Hey Qtney..ltns. Seems like things are going well for you! I have another fill on dec 1. i wish they would put in alot..right now i have no restrictions and it sucks! I've been at the same weight for about 3 weeks. I am going to go on the 'pre op' diet again just so i can drop some weight!

anyway..best of luck to ya..maybe they will only put in one cc and you will hit your sweet spot! ~Fran

I was like both of ou lady and did not feel any restriction until after my second fill. Trust me when I say it took some getting use to. I was sick after every meal for 2 1/2 weeks. Part of this was due to the fact that I could eat any food up until that second restriction. I didn't understand what the doctor meant by take it slow as I left his office. However, it didn't take long for me to figure out what he meant. I use to eat some bread...not a lot as I was trying to cut out most carbs. I could eat chicken. Chicken is not so nice of a friend anymore. I had to eat so much slower, micro bites, and wait a long time to drink. I didn't need to do that before my second fill. Please know that you will hit platuea's along the way. I felt like I wasn't losing. However, when I went back to my journal I could see that weight was coming off. When I hit a plateau at the beginning, I started to really walk. It did help to get me jump started again. I had about a 2 week plateau and then this week, I have loss 3.8 lbs. Just keep working with the band and it will come off. Good luck with your second fill!

Thank you so much! They overfilled me on my second fill and had to take more liquid out today. I'm curious to see what I will be able to eat and what I won't be able to eat. I should be at my sweet spot, though....or close to
