my first fill .. is it going to be painful? Weight loss stopped?

Hi,

I was wondering how the first fill feels. while its being done and after. Someone once told me its painful .I wanted to know your experiences. Also am i still starting solids around the first fill or im back to liquids for a few weeks

?

so confused but excited to loss more weight !!

I am also wondering if anyones weight loss started stopping at around 4-5 weeks.

I havent lost a pound in the past week and i am following all the instrucitions. I know its just my start , but its very frustrating

:help:

When I got my first fill, I was bracing myself for the prick of the needle. All of a sudden he's like, OK you have 3 in there now, I'm like what?! The needle is already in me?! You honestly don't feel a THING!

They tell you to go on liquids for two days, and mushy for the next two before going back to solids. I personally didn't listen and went straight for solids. You will feel a difference right away. The food will get stuck faster, and you'll feel full quicker. It's really amazing how it works!

fills are over before you know they've even started. It makes you wonder if they did anything. I was on liquids the rest of the day only then back to normal,

Got my first fill today ! It wasn't a thing don't worry. I couldn't even feel it. They put 2cc's in. I hope it gives me some restriction.

Weird that you say it does not hurt, I have heard some say that is DOES hurt. If it is like a shot then it will be no big deal, but I would rather know it is gonna hurt than think it is not going to hurt and then it does hurt. LOL...did anyone understand that? Deanna

I had one fill so far and it did not hurt at all. But I do want to add that it is not necessarily guaranteed that you will have restriction from the first fill, or second, or fifth. Each person is different. I had no restriction from the first one. I'm going for my second tomorrow. I'm hoping restriction will begin with that one.

It didn't hurt at all to me. But then I'm used to incredibly painful trigger point injections in my abdominal wall with large needles and I get six allergy shots, every week, etc. I'm well aquainted with needles. I've had one fill and one partial unfill so far. I've done two days of liquids after each. And why you start on food, just take it easy. Give a big pause between bites, that sort of thing.
