2nd Fill Kickin In :)



Recommended Posts

My second fill of .5 cc (total 1.5cc) is starting to kick in. Had food stuck 2x and my first PB last night on a stinkin but delicious piece of chocolate... yes, chocolate of all things.

The point of this post is to say that for those of you who are waiting for a fill...... hang in there, they really do make a big difference.

I went from 1 cc and being able to eat EVERYTHING and as much as I want (not having to chew either) to 1.5 cc and getting food stuck. TOM is on the way and that always makes me tighter and I know it might not last but I'm really happy that I am feeling restriction after 5 months of being banded.

Hang in there folks !!!

Very happy to read your thread on this subject! LOL! I've been banded since 1/18/06. Have had one fill of 1.5. Going in next week for number two fill and really hope it helps. I don't have much restriction at all. I've lost about 15lbs but feel like I'm still eating too much. My wonderful hubby says I'm expecting too much and that I am definitely eating less than pre-band. So we count the blessings. But your post gives me something to look forward to! Thank you and keep us posted!

:cry I never want to feel like that ever again!!!!!! My fill kicked in and it kicked my ass!!!!! I went to Cracker Barrell with my mom and husband yesterday and had the tortilla Soup which went down ok but then all of a sudden...:rolleyes: WOW!!!....I thought I was going to die. I went to the bathroom and paced for a bit and then I "went" to the bathroom and thought..." :omg: Oh no! This is my first major PB and I don't like it!!!And I couldn't get anything to come up!" So finally...My body decided that both ends was a good idea.....OH DEAR GOD!!! I WANTED TO CRY!!! So...I got that over with and have vowed to not do it again!!! Although I am sitting here in a little pain after my snack...I just need to get use to my fill :cry and figure everything out AGAIN! I guess it's mushies again! Not even scrambled eggs are working out!

Kathy maybe you just ate to fast. Sucks don't it. I got food stuck 2 times before I had the chocolate PB.... I"m such a doomkauf (sp?) LOL chocolate of all things.... how anal is that.

Sorry it happened to you while you were out. I tell my DH and my friend that if I ever look like a deer with headlights shining in my eyes, not to freak out, its only me in pain ROFLMFAO!!!

I have learned that if i get that pain / stuck feeling, I take some really deep breaths and some times it helps the food pass.

      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?

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
