Okay my first fill was on Tuesday...Question

spoiltmom · September 25, 2010

Since I've started back on solid foods I'm not having any problems eating at all. I can still eat bread even. But so far it seems that I'm eating a bit less and I'm not as hungry between meals.

So my question is is that all in my head or did my fill really do something for me?

I got 1 cc and I had 3 cc's from surgery so I have 4 cc's total now.

What do you think? I'm even at an all time low with my weight:) I'm down a pound:)

It sounds like the band is doing exactly what it is supposed to do. The way my doctor explained to me was that when I had a fill I should not be hungry for longer periods of time, be satisfied, have good weight loss (1-2lbs/week) while eating a small portion to achieve this.

I have had one fill so far. I can still eat anything I want but my portion size has decreased since the fill - I do have some trouble with doughy breads & beef (mainly hamburgers - but can eat ground beef just fine) but if I take small bites and concentrate on chewing I do Ok.

How much have you lost since your first fill?

I'm so psyched about this whole thing! I definitely feel like I'm going to succeed at losing weight this time:)

I have lost 9lbs since 9/1. I go for my 2nd fill 9/30 - hoping this will get me to a good spot. I almost canceled my next fill last week - but started to get hungry between meals so thought I better keep it for now.
