Should I get a fill??



Recommended Posts

My weight loss is slowing drastically- I have lost 1.5 lbs in the last three weeks. I feel like I am hungry a lot more often and definitely feel like I can eat more. I am still PBing more often than I like but have recently noticed that if I eat the way I am supposed to (ie. chewing a lot and pausing between bites, and taking small bites) that I can get A LOT of food down.

I think the reason I have held off on a second fill is because I feel like I PB too much. But I really think that by following the rules more closely I can avoid that even if I am a little tighter.

What do you all think? Is it time??

PB ing is ALOT about not taking small enough bites and chewing well.

Everything else sounds like you need a fill. Go for it!

How much of a regular meal can you eat? How many cups? How often are you really hungry?

Sounds like you do need a fill. I can eat maybe 1 cup of food before I am feeling pretty full. Kinda depends on the food, heavy things like meat, it is more like 1/2 cup, if that. I don't really get very hungry anymore, esp if I have a protien shake in the morning, that tends to really fill me up.

I would say to make sure that you can manage your PB's before you get the fill. If you can manage them at this fill level, then get a little tighter and make sure you can still manage them. Also, remember that for alot of people what they can and can't eat changes with nearly every fill!

:D

I can easily eat a cup of food or more at a meal if I chew correctly. And I am pretty tight in the morning so I usually have a scoop of chocolate Protein Powder in a big cup of coffee. After that I will have two meals and usually a snack at some point.I am eating healthy foods, and if I really crave something that is not good for me I have a strict "two bite" rule that has been working very well for me!

I am really hungry all the time, though. I think I am going to go for it.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
