First fill next Wednesday???!!!!!!

I have my first fill on Sept. 8th. I am a little nervous, but I know I need it. I am able to finish a whole plate and just starting to feel full. I have lost 11 lbs since surgery, but it was all eithin the fist two weeks. I am hoping that this fill really gets the ball rolling for me, because as of now, I am feeling as though I may have gone through all of this for 11 lbs.

It's very common that people feel that way in the post op, pre-fill stage. 11lbs is good. Don't beat yourself up. Sometimes, the first fill gives you some restriction. Sometimes you have to tweak it a little more. Remember, this is for life, there is no deadline or race.

Keep your chin up!

That's 11 pounds gone for good! They say anything lost before the first fill is a bonus. I bet your first fill will make a big difference! Best of luck to you!

Just wait once your filled your on your way. I just had my first Monday and I too was nervous and scared not only about the injection but how my body would react.

It's been great. I feel satisfied with smaller portions and I'm not thinking about food which is a big plus.
