3rd fill



Recommended Posts

:smile: I got my 3rd fill yesterday and I finally have restriction! Whoo Hoo!! I needed some restriction because I was getting really depressed. My boss had GBS a month before I had the band and she has lost 100 lbs. Slow and steady goes the race for me though. For everyone that doesn't have good restriction yet, don't give up!

Congrats :hurray:

How do you KNOW you have good restriction?

I have had two fills, and with this last one, I have been getting stuck and sliming a lot, but I still feel hungry. But, when I eat, I can only tolerate a few bites before I get stuck and/or slime.

I am still working on taking smaller bites and eating slower... I think this is why I am getting stuck and sliming :thumbup:

I am still not sure how I am supposed to feel... or how I will know when I am at that "sweet spot".

I THOUGHT I had good restriction after 2 fills, and I did for awhile. But I was still doing the too big bites, feel miserable thing (stuck, pbing, sliming), warm liquids the rest of the day thing. NOW, after my third fill (which was 5 weeks ago), my restriction is still good. I am eating the right things (generally), small bites and small portions and feeling satisfied for 3 or 4 hours. I still don't think I am at my "sweet spot", but as long as I am loosing (albeit slowly), I will stick with this awhile longer. My measurement is white bread, if I can eat a PBJ on white bread I need a fill. Now, I can't even NIBBLE white bread without it sticking (tried yesterday for the 1st time since my last fill, just as a test). HOORAY!

So, you had PBing, sliming, stuck, etc. after the 2nd fill, but not now after the 3rd?

Do you think it is the restriction or that you have just finally trained yourself to take smaller and slower bites?

I know that I am still eating too fast sometimes, especially when someone is talking to me while I am eating... and if I do not take the time to cut my food up BEFORE I start eating, I end up taking too big of bites.

I have not even tried white bread... but I did try a pinch of a biscuit a week or so after my first fill, and I was so miserable that I have stayed FAR AWAY from white bread products ever since. I am not much of a bread person, so I do not miss it.

How do you do with popcorn?

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
