Hi Gabita. Try not to let the numbers on the scale get to you, I don't think they gown down fast enough for any of us! You did say you "feel smaller" and, to me, that is far more important than any scale reading.

Keep up the good work, it is so worth it!

@@gabita I was having .5-.7 lbs loss everyday which was awesome to see but for 2 days it has gone the other way! I was down 5.5 from surgery then yesterday up a little and today up a little. I even did yard work one day and went to the gym (walked slow in treadmill) yesterday but it went up. This is the wake up call I knew was coming....this isn't a magic trick. It will be a long road of eating right and exercise, utilizing our new tool.

I started off with a little fill, she starts you at 2 cc in the OR. I do feel full after 4 oz of food. I'm only on liquids though so it only last about 3 hours.

Hang in there!! This will get better and your numbers will drop. For now Celebrate the non scale victories....I had a coupon for Kohls so I got a shirt a size smaller then usual....when I got home it fit!!! That's better then a number on a scale!

Thank you I will keep doing what I'm doing and have patience. I'm sure I'll feel a difference when I get a fill

Greetings,

I went in on May 27 for my first fill. I lost 9 pounds in the past month and I'm doing ok with satiety after eating my meals. Also, I felt a tad uncomfortable eating white meat chicken a week previous to the appt. Based on all of this, the nurse who does fills at my surgeon's office recommended, and I agreed, that we would hold off on doing a fill. I'll go back in another month and we will see where we are at that time.

So far, so good. :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
