Happy St. Patrick's Day! I hope everyone is doing well.

Next Friday will be my first fill. I can't wait! For those of you who have had a fill already, would you share your experience?

I am a little nervous about some big, huge, giant needle.:lol:

Hi!

I was banded on Feb 23rd and got my first fill today 5.2cc (I have an 11cc band) I never felt a thing, the fill was nothing to be afraid of.

HOWEVER! I got home and took a drink out of a bottle and whooosh I was sliming, OMG it hurt I am scared to try and drink anything let alone eat anything, is this normal to get mega restriction? :lol:

I just got my first fill a few hours ago. I didn't sleep well last night, had nightmares about a huuuuuge needle and pain and OMG! :sneaky:

I got myself all worked up about NOTHING!

Honestly, it was like a normal injection. No biggie at all! I am on liquids today, mushies tomorrow, then back to normal food. And on my way to WEIGHT LOSS!!! Yay!

Have faith, you will be fine! :lol:

Hugs,

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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. ย 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 ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿ˜ญ. 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! ๐Ÿ˜ž
