Had first fill, not feeling much restriction. Advice please



Recommended Posts

So I'm 5 days after my first fill.

Not feeling much if any restriction. Is this normal?

I'm finding I'm snacking more and could easily eat bread without a struggle.

Advice needed if anyone has any please!

Give it time. I wasn't feeling full then I made the mistake of eating solids 6 days out and I can't believe I did that. Because now I'm two weeks out and just eating mashed Beans at 2oz a sitting is hard.

@@loulou12, it's common for one adjustment to leave room for improvement and wise to go on the slower side than race into things. It's also not uncommon for an adjustment to take a little longer to "settle in." Call your surgery practice and ask how long they wait between adjustments. In the meantime, it is up to you to make good choices. It will also be up to you later on.

@@MTWilliams, I noticed a topic that you started in the sleeve forum and send good wishes for success as you go along. Sleeve and band surgery are quite different animals.

After my first fill (4cc's) I started to GAIN weight

Went I went for my second fill I was apprehensive.

My Dr. laughed at me....said I really did not understand the "process"

That was 6 years ago

All I can say is "Look at me now"

      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? 🤷‍♀️
