3rd fill and feeling great



Recommended Posts

Well I went for my 3rd fill today so far so good. I got weighed and I now weigh 229lbs(day of surgery I was 286lbs)so I have lost a total of 57lbs. I can't believe when I lose 30lbs more I will be in onderland. This weekend I went to the beach as I do every year but this year was different. Before I used to go to the beach and plant myself in my chair all day without moving(not even to pee LOL!!). Well this time I took a walk, went swimming and actually ate on the beach without blinking an eye. It felt so good. Before when I was 286lbs I was sooooo unhappy and everyone knew it. I recieved so many compliments not only about how much weight I have lost but they were saying how healthy and happy I looked and you know what? I really am. I am very happy. For anyone who may be reading this and thinking about getting the band or even if you feel like you want to give up on your band please do it. Do it to feel better, to be happy but most of all to love yourself again.

Sounds really good for you! Congratulations! I will possibly get my 3rd fill June 16th. Not sure I need more fill. I'm @ 7cc now (11cc Realize Band) and think I may be okay where I'm at. I've lost 55 pounds total since surgery Feb 7th, 2011. I like you will be under 200 soon! My ability to be active and socialize has changed so much! Like you said, it makes doing things so much easier. @ 7cc I can no longer eat any breads, unless chicken is tiny pieces with sauce I can't eat it, and sometimes drinking a Protein Shake is just a lot easier. So, this may be where I stay filled for awhile. I have 2 little kids and eating very slowly isn't always an option. I'm just glad to feel powerful over food for the first time in my life. Its amazing! No more white knuckling diets! My hunger is taken care of with enough Protein and if I do spurge a bit its with ricecakes. I eat 2 or 3 and that's my splurge now! I love my band and am so happy I have it!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
