Used the fluoroscope. Doc added a few more cc and my world changed

I'm so glad cause I was feeling nothing! Now it's harder to eat. Will this last? I got about 3 oz of dry grilled chicken in and was done

The third fill is doing the trick. TODAY I STEPPED ON scale AND SAW THE FIRST NUMBER WAS A 2!!! I am below 300 for the first time in years' date=' feel great. Puked the other night when I ate too fast, and boy was I happy!! 275 here we come ! [/quote']

Woo hooooo! I already feel a difference . Ate Greek yogurt around 8 am and I'm not hungry , it's like 11 am.

Fashionstylist it feels great doesnt it. Should get easier now. Hooray!!

I'm still not feeling like my 3rd fill did anything for me. I'm still hungry in between meals. I haven't lost a pound in two wks!!

I suppose it depends on how big your fills are. Mine were all pretty big.(had 1/5 from surgery) My first 4/5 cc. My second 2cc's the last 1/5cc's. Now I'm at 9/5 cc's in a 14 cc's band in a short period. I've only been banded since july 3rd.. Hang in there.. You'll get there. Its a bit of a shock when you do. But a good one.

Testing

Good afternoon, I just had my 4th fill Wednesday and now I am at a 6.5cc, I am really starting to feel that I am hitting my green zone. Does anyone else start to feel depressed if they don't see numbers change when they get in the scale??

Yes I do. It feels to me seeing the numbers go down validates my decision.. My family have mad expectations im striving to meet

Zingy, I was banded July 5th and I can't wait to get to that sweet spot . I'm at 6.5 cc in a 14 cc band .

You'll get there soon I'm sure. I noticed a huge difference at 8cc just not a big enough one. Here I am now. Full full full.

Ummmm, I just had my 3 rd fill and I just had dinner. Let's just say I was not supposed to be able to eat all of what I ate... I gotta get it together ..

You really can't go in the amount of fills. It would mean they had to be the same volume for everybody. You well get there soon. I wish I'd enjoyed eating while I still could. Although I feel full quickly and stay full I still mentally miss big dinner...

I have only had my first fill, and I feel no different, ;-( I'm ready for some restriction, my dr said I received 2cc and he will put 2cc more in a month. That's so long to have no restriction, I think.

I felt no difference on my first fill at all.. I did however stop eating before I was full and always waited four hours before eating again and never snacked.. I also followed weight watchers meal plan so I lost some weight.. I did find it really super hard was miserable being hungry. Now I'm there in the green I understand why you have to experience these hard bits. preparing you for itty bitty portions and loads of chewing. The month will fly by if you stay positive.. Hang in there.. Try to rememberer it usually took some times to gain the weight. It takes time to shift it...

Ps.. I'm sure there's no one dieting that didn't want more amazing, faster results. Thats the nature of the beast.. Imo
