One week from first fill, waiting paitently. Can eat but force self not to. 14 pounds loss since surgery, 27 pounds loss total. Anticipating easier journey after fill. I exercise daily and eat as little as possible.

Welcome to all, enjoy your companionship during our journey's.

I get first fill in about two weeks. I can pretty much eat anything also, but have been watching how much and what I eat. I have been doing really well until last night. I had such a craving for chips and salsa and gave in. I know I ate more chips than I should have. I'm trying not to feel guilty about it and will just get back on track today.

I just had my first fill yesterday, it was easy! No issues at all. I have a 14 cc band, 5 in at surgery, 1 cc in at my fill yesterday. I don't feel restriction at all yet- I'm telling you this so you don't worry if you don't either. It can take several fills to reach restriction!! I am just going to schedule mine as close together as possible, LOL. I too have real hunger (as opposed to head hunger) but only eat what I'm supposed to. It's a process- someone on here said the first few weeks are for healing, then a few months to get to restriction, then it's to the weight loss- of course trying to lose weight on the way.

Congrats, I know for me it feels good to be on a journey to lose weight that I will be successful at!!

Good luck on your first fill. It will take more than 1 for restriction. Maybe 5. Are you eating chips? why?

I recommend that you measure your food. This is your window of opportunity to lose the weight that you had the surgery for. i paid cash for mine. I have not had bread or white flour in 2 years. I didnt want to be fat and unhealthy for the rest of my life. I suggerst that you watch your carbs. Up Protein. carbs make you fat and want more carbs, Protein keeps you full and makes you lose weight. good luck

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
