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).

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
