Getting a little nervous about my first fill. Does it hurt? What should I expect?

So proud of you and jealous as well I have almost lost 20 so I'm not far behind. I see the Dr on Thursday so I'm really excited for that. I started following you on Instagram. Have a great day

Thank you! You will get there! its definitely not easy! but I am not going to quit! and I am here to give you all the motivation you need.

Great job!! i was Banded on the 7april but ive lost no where near what you have im inspired xx

I've requested you on Instagram letty

Vickie

Awesome thanks! Hopefully we can motivate each other on there!!!

I was banded on the 3/27 and lost 30 so far. why are you needing a fill?

After 6weeks after being banded my dr requires an adjustment. And I am starting to feel more hungry and eating a little more than I should. So I think an adjustment will do me good.

Scheduled for my first fill on May 11th and I am getting nervous about it. But I am excited that I was able to lose 24lbs without a fill. Can't wait to see what the next months have in store. I also created an instagram to track my progress and put up inspirational quotes. If anyone would like to follow and offer their encouragement. @gettinfitletty is my username and if anyone needs some motivation and has an instagram reply to this post and I will definitely follow you!

Went for my 2nd post op visit and I have lost 13lbs! I am so excited! I am feeling great! Still on mushy food and my first fill will be on May 9th!

So I feel like I am stuck because I took my pills this morning and without realizing I took them all at once and I feel this pressure coming up my chest. I have never had this feeling so I am thinking its the stuck feeling.

Hey March peeps! I was banded March 29th. I Don't have much soreness anymore just itchy around my scars. Today I started mushy food and had mash potatoes and chicken puréed. And so far lost 12lbs. Congrats to everyone!

So today I am feeling a little down, of course with losing weight some people get jealous and always have to have some kind of opinion or negativity. My weight lost is noticable now and there is this one girl at work that is always saying she is getting on a diet and then the next day quits. I have always been very supportive even before I got banded and would tell her lets go for a walk during lunch. I was encouraging and wouldn't be negative when she would give up. But yesterday I found out that she said that she doesn't think I am going to stick to my diet. That she gives me a week! I was hurt by that comment. I didn't tell anyone I got banded for this reason... I don't need the negativity. Now she is talking about going to go get injections to lose weight. I don't know what to say to her, but it really bothered me that she would say that about me when all I have been is supportive in her attempts to lose weight.

I'm on day 3 and still feel really bloated and still in some pain. Anyone know how long this will last. I still cannot lay down in my bed, i guess I'm scared i will pull something when trying to get out of bed. Any suggestions

Day by day you will feel better. I am used to sleeping on my side and it was really hard for me to do that, even lay flat on the bed was hard. But it does get better. I am on day 14 and I have some soreness around my port. But mostly have some itchiness around my incisions because of the healing! But other than that I feel good. About to start the mushy food stage!

I'm choosing not to tell anyone at work either. I had already been dropping g hints like "think I might try Atkins diet" that way when I'm drinking Protein shakes it won't look so funny

Yea, well I told them prior to surgery that I was trying to eat healthier and started the shakes 2 weeks prior so I kinda did the same thing. Only one girl at work knows I did it and that's because she got the sleeve a year ago. So she can sort of relate to me.

So glad someone explained this! I kept reading it as I was feeling dumb. Lol thank you!

You guys can add me too! Makeupbyletty ???ƒ

Today is my first day back at work. I am 12 days out of surgery and I feel good. Had my Vitamins and my Protein Shake. No one here at work know that I got banded so I have been getting a few looks on what I ate for Breakfast and some have told me I look thinner. And of course some are talking behind my back lol! Only thing I am dealing with today is that I am still feeling tired and my stomach is rumbling a lot!

I was banded March 29th as well I take my Vitamins but I'm still exhausted. I just reminding myself to take it easy we are healing. When we can eat puréed then hopefully it'll get better. Congrats!!!! This place is awesome

Hey we are buds! Same day!! Woohoo! Yea can't wait for the purée stuff.

CONGRATS! Are you taking you multivitamins' date=' Calcium and b12[/quote']

I was only taking a Multivitamin. But I just got some B12 And calcium! Hope that will help me! Thanks!

I just downloaded the app, how do I add people? I just got banded 11 days ago and could use some support and dieting tips

Hello, new to this site and happy I found it. I am doing good but I get tired really easy now after doing little things or walking around.
