Hi, I am going for my second fill on the 17th of this month. Will I see a big change in the food I can eat? I can eat just about everything and alot of it.

No two individuals will have the same experiences on their weight loss journeys. Much depends on how aggressive your surgeon is with your fills.

I've asked my surgeon to be conservative with my fills...and he agrees. After 3 fills I have 4cc of fluid; I can definitely feel the difference, but doubt I'm ever going to be in the "zone". I would rather take the responsibility for my weight loss then risk being too tight.

It is the patient's responsibility to comply with the diet your surgeon wants you to follow...that means healthy food choices and Portion Control.

Well I got first fill 3 months ago and lost 7 pounds at 4.5 cc then I got second fill of three ccs and lost 17 pounds then my third fill got 1.5 cc and lost 6 pounds. Now got fourth fill today of 2 cc so hoping to get a good loss this month. Of corse I've been burning around 1200 cals aday riding bicycle and swimming so it's not been all easy and I've been eating between 700 and 850 cals aday just saying

Ok after having 10.5cc in my 14cc band I'm really feeling a lot of restriction. I barely got down 1 cup pinto Beans last nite for supper. Am I close to "green zone". I even noticed that if I take to big a drink of orange mango juice it takes a minute to get through if that's normal

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
