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!

      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! 😞
