I need a fill!!!!!!!



Recommended Posts

:help: Well, it’s been almost 4 weeks and I need a fill!! :) I can eat anything and just as much as I could eat before. I know the band is empty right now but do I really need to wait 2 more weeks?? :rolleyes I was hoping to go down Thursday.

I know exactly what you mean. It has been 3 and half weeks and I can eat just as much of whatever before as before the band. What's up with that??????? I'm so discouraged and hungry for goodness sakes.

I hope you guys have better luck than me on your first fill. I had my first on June 13 and it doesn't feel any different than before the fill. I'm not starving, but I'm sure I could eat more (I just dont let myself). At my last support meeting, I spoke to a few bandsters who lost about 80-90 pounds in the first year, but they did tell me that it took them about 3 fills before they felt good restriction. They also told me that after the 3rd fill, the weight loss starting coming easier. I guess everyone is different. I cant wait till my next fill!! Good luck to you!

It just depends on your doctor. Give him/her a call. Mine begins giving fills after the 4th week.

My doctor had me scheduled for a fill at 4 weeks, Dr. Curry, he is so sweet, but I called today and got it for 5 weeks and one day. I'm 2 weeks postop today and have lost 21 pounds. I weighed this morning and had lost 3 more but I still thank the lord have plenty of restriction. I can only eat 1/2 cup 3 times a day and thats it. It scares me because I am afraid when it stops it will stop and I'll have a hard time. I guess time will tell.

I too am just 4 weeks out and starving. I try to make the right choices but I still eat too much of the right foods.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
