congrats on your weight loss....after your fill, you will be instructed to have only Soups the first day and the next couple of days its back to the mushies. It really isn't bad.....just think of the end result. good luck!

Most doctors recommend you should stay on liquid diet for the next few days after a fill. Go easy and don't mess around with your stomach after a fill. Liquids on the first 48 hrs and purée/mushy food on the following, before going back to solid food.< /p>

well, I had my first fill on Thursday...I still dont feel any difference though...I have been drinking shakes, and I actually ate some baby food today because I was really hungry...and I am getting very discouraged. I am scared that this fill didn't do any good.

I have never had a prob eating after a fill, although I am told to do the whole liquid thing for two days. With that said, I didnt feel retstriction unil fill number three or so. Dont get discouraged if it takes a few to get to the point where the band is working for you. They cant (or shouldnt) tighten you up as much as possible at once. Its a process.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
