Recommended Posts

Hi all how long did your first fill last? I had chicken and noodles today for lunch at noon and im still full. I had to wait 24 hrs before eating after fill was on liquids. I am still full I can't beleive it and this is what I needed. Im so happy now I also worked out today it was only 10 minutes, but hey it's better then nothing im just getting started. Just wanted to share this since I started off on the wrong path before.

Congratulations to you! I highly recommend you begin a daily exercise regimen that you will stick with and increase in duration each week.

I can totally feel the difference if I skip my morning workout. I feel like I am tired and dragging all day. On the days I work out I feel happy, bubbly and energetic.

Enjoy those chicken and noodles because once you have really good restriction you probably wont be able to eat the noodles. I can't eat Pasta, bread or rice at all without getting stuck.

I also want to lose 160 pounds and am now half way to goal in just 6 months. This has been an exciting 6 months though. I have proven to myself that I can and will get this weight off and have never been more determined. I can now shop in any clothing store and buy clothes that I like not because they fit. I started at 330 pounds and am now 250.

Best of luck to you,

Donna

Wow! Congrats! You're giving me hope!!! I am having a really bad week with hunger. I was banded a week after you, but not even scheduled for a fill yet. Have to meet with the doc on December 8 and from there he schedules the fill. I am so hungry right now and it's so hard to stay motivated when I feel like this.

Congrats on feeling full and hope the weight loss kicks in to high gear for you!!!

Yeah it was very hard for me at first I was eating anything while on mushy's I felt bad and like a faluire I thought it was all over for me. Now im on track working out and trying to eat healthier and less. I don't weigh my foods or anything cuz I have no time, but I make sure to eat less and now that I have my fill I can feel it when Im full and it last for a long time. I started out at 349 and lost 22lbs when I went to get my fill I had gained back 6 lbs, but they stated that was ok. I just started my workouts which are only about 15-20 min for now until I work my way up to 30 min 3 times a wk. so hopefully that 6lbs will come off and more to come. All I can say is this time im not giving up and going to keep moving forward it's hard as hell, but gotta do it as I am also in a wedding next yr july so I have to get this weight off me.

i was banded on oct 13 and go for my first fill dec 3. i get hungry alot, but try not to snack. i am stalled with losing and even gained a few back. but they are gone now. i hope i get restriction when i get my adjustment. i watched the adjustment videos on you tube. they were a bit scarey, but it will be worth it to get one step closer to my goal. 21 pounds gone and holding. good luck to you all.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
