3Rd Fill Today!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone:)

I got my 3rd fill today after work.

I already had 5cc in my band and no restriction. My Doc decided to put another 2.5 in and I could not swallow water! I was so surprised, it was great to finally feel the band work! Lol

To this point I swear it felt like I never had the surgery and have lost my 20 lbs with pure will power. Anyways, we decided 2.5 was a lil much and he took out 0.5. He thinks this one should do the trick!! I sure hope that 3x is the charm!!!!

That pure will power is a tough thing.

Hope this fill works out for you.

I get my first fill one week from today, excited and scared.

PS. I only see one post.

When was your surgery? I am so anxious to get my first fill- I am running on pure willpower right now!

My surgery was Valentines Day 2/14/12...

Yes, willpower is no joke! Just feels like "any other diet" until we get restriction! (that quote is used a lot but sooooo true!) good luck to you as well:)

I got my third fill last Thursday. Woohoo I have restriction. I have had to slow waaaay down eating and my portions are half. I'm only at 4.6 in a 10 band but boy do I feel it now.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
