Just had my first fill today . I gained 3 pounds while waiting for my first fill. Will I finally lose some weight now?

I gained 3 pounds waiting for my first fill also! I was filled on Thursday last week, and after the 48 hours back on liquids had lost those 3 again. Unfortunately, back to where I was before the fill after the first day of solids. I have not weighed in 3 days now, and won't for another 4, so ... we'll see, I guess. I definitely feel the restriction now...more like when it was swollen after surgery, so I hope that is a good thing.

Good luck, I hope it works out for both of us

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but probably not. It usually takes most people from 2-4 fills to feel any restriction at all. Some people (very few) feel it without any fills, and some after just one. But I think the majority of people take a few fills to get there. It was my 3rd fill 4 mths into it that was the magic fill.

Be patient. It WILL come to you! I promise! You could be 1 of the very few that it works the first time. Then I can put my foot in my mouth!

You are probably right. I have been reading other posts and most seem to have the same story

Marci (Ms Bad News) is right. It will probably take several fills, you have started the banbster hell stage of the journey. You will be through it, in the mean time eat like you have restriction, 1 cup food, Protein first, small bites, chew chew chew. You will start to see results.

Best of luck to you.
