You'll be just fine! The fill itself is super easy, and usually it takes a few fills before you get any real restriction. As long as you follow the rules (like chew chew chew :) ), you'll do great!

No words of wisdom here, I have to wait another 3 weeks. Just wanted to wish you luck, I'm sure you will do just fine!

I had my first fill this week and I was full of anxiety. Super nervous...but I didn't feel a thing! it was so quick and painless. I had liquids for 24 hours and then my doctor told me that I could have mushy/solid foods and I haven't had any problems. I just eat slow and chew really well. Think positive! It's definitely better once you have it behind you because you know exactly what to expect. But I was filled with anxiety and it was super quick and I didn't feel a thing. I haven't had any problems eating/drinking. I do feel tighter!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
