Had first fill.... do feel much different



Recommended Posts

It really does depend on the person. I am going in for my 5th fill in january and I can't wait. although i have been struggling with chicken, bread, i am resorting back to the old days with the soft foods.

Yes, it depends on your body. For me it took me 5 fills to finally have good restriction. Keep going back until you get there. Good luck.

Hi! I too just had my first fill on Thursday... I feel very different in the morning (more restriction- as many experience). Today is my second day of liquids.. last night I had cream of chicken Soup and it was not keeping the hunger away... I guess it was just running right through.

How much did you get filled with? I was done with 1.5... they tried 2cc's but it was not staying down.

I was able to watch it on the x-ray.. it was really cool to watch it and then feel the liquid going down at the same time!

The little 'mini' support group that collected in the waiting room as we all waiting to get in for the fill was pretty fun too!

I love love love the band!

Whisper!

Can`t wait for my first fill on the 17th after a 3 month wait. Just hope it works as I don`t want to wait a further 3 months for a second.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
