I'm still trying to find out when it's time to have my first fill. I'm going Monday to have it done. I've lost approximately 41 lbs. in 8 weeks, but I've really slowed down on the weight loss. I had meatloaf, mashed potatoes, green Beans, and brown gravy for dinner tonight and it was way too easy to eat, so I'm figuring it's time. I certainly don't want to quit losing weight. I have a goal to lose at least 101 lbs. and I still have 60 to go to reach that point. If I'm not happy with myself then, I'll try to keep losing. Has anyone reached their goal weight and if so, what all did you have you have to do it and what do you have to do to keep it off?

Congradulations! 41 pounds in 8 weeks is great!! but I have only lost 21 pounds since June 10th. Your Surgeon will have his own rules to follow.

My doctor determines when we need a fill mostly by how long we stay full, he said amounts eaten differ from person to person and everyone is different.....but that we should last 4-5 hours with eating enough food to no longer be hungry (not till full).

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
