Well 2.5 months post op.....down 54 lbs. Some days I feel super hungry, other days I am not hungry. Had 5.5ccs in, but I got a sinus infection and had a LOT of drainage. When they say it will clog the opening, let me tell you it will. If you have bad sinus problems keep some liquid mucinex on hand.....that is what the doc told me. Also they say some pure pineapple juice will help break it up. The doctor had to remove .5cc of saline to relieve the pressure.

Go for my second fill on the 16th. My doctor is very impressed with weight I have lost so far. People at work are starting to see the weight loss. Get so many compliments. That is a definite plus and another motivation to keep it up. Can't wait for next summer.....planning to go home to Ohio and a trip to Cedar Point, to ride all the roller coasters again. Have not been able to do that in 15 years.

Keep going strong.....you are correct, once you can eat food it doesn't seem so bad. Plus you actually start looking at new ways to cook......definite plus. I promise

Anybody start with an excessive amount to lose?
I have to agree with everyone.....my starting weight was 316. Little by little......some days are a struggle.....but I look to the future, being able to keep up with my kids. Keep positive

People notice portion size...what do you tell them?
Yes, I have to agree with most. I have no shame in my and......all my co workers and family know. The only thing that saddens them is that there is no longer munchies in my drawer at work:)

Take it easy on your first day back. I went back 1 week after, I just felt extremely exhausted after the first day. Second day was much better

Has anyone gotten their first fill yet? If so, how bad was the pain? What did it feel like?
