Third fills the charm!



Recommended Posts

Had third fill last Wednesday. Back on track and broke the plateau. Lost 3 lbs since last Wednesday. I still haven't had anything get stuck. Knock on wood! I am 6 cc in a 10 cc band. I can still chug Water though. Any thoughts on if you are supposed to be able to chug water with no problems?

I was told you should always be able to chug. It's hard enough trying to get it all in and not run to the bathroom all the time!

i would imagine if you can't chug Water than the band is too tight... least i hope so. living in AZ being able to chug water is the only way i make it through the summer.....

Congrats to you! 3 was my magic number as well, I have 5.5cc's in a 10cc band. No fills since August 17th, nice steady weight loss even when my calories have been over for that week.

Congrats on breaking the plateau!

I asked the same question about Water and from what I have been reading, not being able to chug Water may be a sign you are too tight or close to it. I could be wrong though. I can chug water, but I am not at the green zone yet.

Awesome! I just had my 2nd fill and for the first time I feel major restriction. I think my surgeon filled me more than he usually would becuase I had gained weight between my first and second fill.

I cannot chug Water at all. Sip sip sip or I PB it right back up. And I think I Am what is considered green....

Water should be able to go down easily. If it isn't, you are probably too tight. If you do your fills under endoscopy, that is what they are looking for, to make sure Fluid flows through easily.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
