Cant Wait To Get My First Fill!!



Recommended Posts

I'm not sure if this is common but I really feel hungry all the time and I'm only 3 weeks post band. I fight the urge but sometimes I cave. Please I need advice on how to curb my appetite until my first fill! Thanks in advance!!

everyne is going to say the same thin here PROTIENT drinks at 3 weeks you need to just keep drink anything. I find Hot Drinks work the best. Dont be upset if the first fill doesnt feel any differance I have a 10 cc band and 44 cc fill st surgery dsy and now I hace 6cc and could use little more.

you will get there just keep drinking and resting.

yeah, i understand that. the hunger is coming back as you are healing. that was the case to me and i speak only from my experience. i guess until that first fill, and though others may not agree w/me, you must eat like you have restriction. i havent had a fill either, and i know i can and could eat more than my allotted cup of food but i stop as per what my dr told me. so i mentally eat and respond as if i am restricted. i drink alot and drink extra Protein Shake if i am needing it. i also eat when i am hungry. i am just careful about what i eat (for a snack). anyhow, hang in there and congrats on the surgery :)

The best practices for me were to to keep focused on a project, sip Water, or get out of the house for some exercise.

This is one of the more challenging parts of the weight loss journey...but totally doable if you have the proper mind set for success!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
