I also had my second fill today 3.2cc and I had to force him to

give me that much I had my first fill of 1.3cc and have not had

any restrictions since april 2 I am hoping this will do the trick

to my sweet spot I have not loss any weight since my first fill

Quite often a fill takes a few days to 'kick in'....nobody seems to know why. Nevertheless, it's recommended that you stay on liquids the rest of the day after having a fill then go easy on the foods after that to test to see what you can eat.

After the inititial swelling goes down, the next few weeks take a lot of will power (won't power!!) til you get enough restriction. An RNY patient get restriction right away, but ours happens gradually with each restriction. It's safest to just add a little at a time....you sure don't want your doctor to get too aggressive and then you not be able to drink or eat at all without vomiting....you can get dehydrated and sick pretty quick that way.

Sure wish this banding stuff was more an exact science, don't you?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
