I saw the doc today, but didn't get a fill. I have the plication so maybe I don't need as many fills?

I didn't ask him, I assume from the answers I gave him about my hunger and my steady weight loss he felt I didn't need it. I was kinda wondering if anyone else with a plication had already had a fill and how they felt before vs after.

Also, I got the plication because it was offered by my surgeron for free and I figured it couldn't hurt to have another tool to help with my weight loss.

At about two or three weeks post op I stopped losing also. I think I was taking in to few calories, once I started solids and took in more calories I started to lose again. But I stayed the same weight for 2-3 weeks before it started to come off again.

As for the hunger, is it boredom or actual hunger? I have found that a lot of times I'm not actually hungry and if I go do something that takes my mind off food then the pains go away and I forget about it.

      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.

      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...
