I was just curious what everyone's experience has been since their first fill. I haven't lost any weight (nor gained) since my first fill a few weeks ago. I barely have any restriction and PB only when I don't chew enough. I've been doing the treadmill 4 times a week so I think that has helped me not gain anything but I am no where close to the restriction I had post surgery.

I have 6.4cc right now, rcvd 3cc on the first fill, plus what was in the band at surgery, and am hoping to see more restriction after my next fill coming up next week.

What was your experience like between the first and second fill?

I've only lost 6 pounds since my first fill (about 3 weeks ago), but then I was losing 2 pounds a week before my first fill.

My body says differently. Since I'm not losing any faster, but my body shape is changing drastically (for the better), I think perhaps it may just be redistributing the fat for now.

As a diabetic, I held a lot of fat in my belly which was disproportionately bigger than the rest of me. When I was younger, I had an hour glass figure, reminiscient of Marilyn Monroe...albeit on the plus size. :smile:

Now that my blood sugars are closer to normal and I'm taking less Insulin meaning my body is less insulin resistant (and less prone to turn sugar into belly fat), I'm getting that figure back. I'm saying 'hello' to my waistline again!

Of course that does mean I'm also having issues right now with my underwear sliding down my legs. Must be time for a shopping trip!

I just received my first fill on the 23rd and I've lost 3 lbs since. As you can see I loose very slowly so we'll see how I do till my second fill which isn't till the 26th of February. My doctor put in 4 cc's first fill and my band was empty after surgery so I didn't feel restriction till yesterday really. :smile:
