No longer eaten up by my hunger

HildaM · August 5, 2008

I had to document this somewhere, because this is huge for me!! I got my 4th fill yesterday and instantly had good restriction. So I woke up this morning and for the first time in forever food was not my first thought. I did not go looking for it, and still am not feeling hungry. It is just so wonderful to feel a sense of control over my hunger!!! Thanks for allowing me to share!! Have a great day bandsters!
Linda :thumbup: I'm surprised you had your first fill on 6/10. I had to wait six weeks after surgery to get my first fill 7/29/08, a week ago. I had to be on Clear liquids for 2 days, full liquids for 3 days. Yesterday I started with soft foods. I'm so excited I've lost 9 lbs. It seems like is to much and it might not even be healthy to loose that much weight in 7 days. My doctor advised me to take multi-Vitamins so I am every day. I'm glad I got the right amount of cc's to give me the restriction I need to help me loose weight.

Congrats on your weight loss!!!!!!

Yeah - I got my first fill at my 2 week post-op appointment. I was eating everything without difficulty. My doc does not usually do fills that early, but he thought I was ready and I agreed.

I do the Viactiv chewables - Multivitamin and Calcium. They are not very tasty, but they go down easy.

kgloverii -

You are so right, I totally feel like my brain has been rewired. I am losing about 1/2-1 pound per day right now and I am loving it!! But not always thinking about my next meal - that is amazing!!
