My surgery is April 6 in excited and nervous at the same time. I was told that gas x strips is a no no. I should walk walk walk.

@@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

Hello how is everybody doing. I got my first fill 0.5 cc only and makes the diff total loss 8 but let's see how this goes

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.

@@Dancing Fool Great job! I was down 9 lbs (their scale) from my two week post op check, 14 total. I did get a 1 cc fill yesterday and feel good.

Keep up the good work????
