:smile2: :wub: I am so glad that I found this site! I had my surgery on 4/30/09 and first fill on 6/16/09, I go tomorrow 8/11/09 for my 2nd fill I hope it helps. I am struggling, not losing so much now, pretty much just maintaining. I was scheduled for my 2nd fill 6/28/09 but had to cancel because of my work schedule. Now I am having a hard time going to the Doctor because I am not doing well. I guess I feel like I am not ready for a fill because I am not loosing as much as I "should". (I know that doesn’t make since, because if I was losing, I would not need the fill) I am guessing that is the pre-programmed mentality. For the record that is frustrating. I do feel hungry a lot, I don’t over eat, I keep thinking I am eating so much less than I was before but not losing. I seem to be tired all the time. I have just started to drink my protein shake, because my hair started falling out and to help with the energy. Yes, it took my hair to start falling out to start drinking them because they are horrible. FYI, in case you care…Special K Protein Shake are my preferred to dated. My support group meets once a month, while I am working. I am starting to feel pretty alone. I am looking for someone to correspond with to keep me from going crazy. I am sure that my family would appreciate the help there too. I am sure it helps to talk to people that really know what I am going through and feeling.
