I just got a fill and have 2 cc ' s. I have realized I can eat more than 2 weeks after surgery. (Surgery was 10/30) Next appt is 4 weeks out, should I call for a fill in between?

My Dr. had a set treatment plan....I would come in every 4 weeks since surgery.....

I would get weighed in, and weight was compared to last visit and average weekly loss (or gain) was determined.

He would refer to the "Yellow-Green-Red" Chart on the wall, ask a few questions about hunger/cravings, regurgitation, etc., .... then determine if I needed a fill or not and how much.......

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
