My Conservative Fill



Recommended Posts

So, in this journey I decided at this long awaited appointment, I would just want a 1/4cc fill. My next fill in October. I"m ready to ease into regular food ( fill was Wednesday). My surgeon thinks I could be close to zone but nay need small adjustment in next month or so. He may be right. I just don't want to be so restricted that my body doesn't take food like some on these forums. I definitely know I will have to take smaller bites and more chews. Not quite to a 6cc yet, but close. I'll see how the next few days fair for me with this adjustment. anyone going through this issue or fear of being too tight or not enough? I have option to go back before my vacation on Tuesday. Time will tell in solid food tomorrow for sure.

I got a fill on Mon. that took me to 6cc for my 10cc band. It is truly the first time I have had restriction, and it is great. Last year I got badly stuck and didn't know to rest things and continued trying to eat; I had to get an unfill. What I felt in those days following the problem was just awful, and I was worried that I had somehow gotten tighter because of heat. This so much better. I haven't had any hunger and eating everything I've tried without problems. Tonight was chicken parm with a little garlic toast.

I know just how you feel. I too don't want to have problems from getting too much in my band but want to be able to get my meals back down to a cup size.

I have 5.2 and think a couple of cc's will get me right where I need to be. I go for fill on the 13th, so will post and let ya know how it goes.

You're not alone... we are all learning together.

      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.

      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! 😞
