Waiting for a fill..



Recommended Posts

Is anyone else waiting until after the first of the year for a fill? I know I need one, but I want to be able to eat a little bit during the holidays.

I'm just curious if I am the only bad one?

Absolutely not alone on that one. I was so thrilled after getting a little unfill earlier this week, not only had I not really eaten solid food for awhile, I was looking forward to Christmas dinner without the worry of Pb'ing or hurting. I don't view it as being bad, I only allowed my self to somewhat indulge for my Thanksgiving dinner, then got everything out of the house. One meal, that's more than enough for me to be happy and I plan on doing the same thing at Christmas, enjoy one really nice meal without going overboard and without depriving myself. Feels like the best of both worlds. I cannot tell you the last time I went through a holiday season without gaining, except for the first year I was banded. It's was so nice to get on the scale after Thanksgiving and not have gained. Life is good.

Happy Holidays

Cindy

I was banded three weeks ago-my doctors did a .5cc fill with my band, but I am able to eat and drink way more than evwryone else here talks about. Should I be scheduling a fill for after the frist of the year, or is it too soon?

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
