Yesterday was my 6 week follow up and my first opportunity to get a fill. When I weighed in I was down 21 lbs in 6 weeks. Not bad. That averages 3.5 lbs a week. So far so good.

I am currently happy with my level of restriction. I am counting calories and going 4 days week (at least) to the gym. So I think for right now it was the right move to not get a fill. My surgeon was fine with that as long as I am losing the weight.

There are many ways to get to the same destination in weight loss...and right now I feel I am on a good path.

Sounds like you're doing great Jacob, congrats!

Great Thee-o. Sounds like you have a good plan going. I will have my 6 week check up on july 5th. I am down 12 lbs at 4 weeks. I actually don't feel like I have any restriction and I have not had a fill yet. Keep up the great work.

I didn't get a fill until 6 months out. My doc said as long as you are losing you don't need it.

Thanks for the update - very motivating
