Although I haven't reached restriction per se, I am full for 4-5 hours between eating and am steadily loosing 3 lbs per week, so my dr and I decided to give it another 6 weeks before my first potential fill. I want to keep doing as much a I can without the fill as I really am retraining myself to eat correctly and exercise accordingly. 33lbs since preop on 12/3 so I will gladly take that!

Good for you. You are doing great.

Keep up the good work!

That is great! We had surgery I believe on the same day and I did have a .5cc fill last week. I am hoping for some restriction soon. Keep up the good work!

That is awesome!! Some people never need fills. You obviously do have the restriciton you are talking about or you would be satisfied for so long. Keep up the good work. Less fills less problems seems to me.

Since you are full for 4-5 hours and losing 3 lbs per week, you are in the green zone. Go slow on the fills...being too aggressive with fills can bring problems. Congrats! Keep up the positive attitude!

Great job on your success so far!!! Slow n steady is better.

1 week out, I really like your plan. Hope I am as successful . Great job!

thanks everyone! Weird thing is, it isn't as hard as I thought it would be. Don't get me wrong, not a walk in the park and I am working my butt off- i think I just finally wanted it for all the right reasons! Hoping to go as long as possible without a fill... although will gladly take if necessary. Only time will tell.....
