I got a fill yesterday and I think I might finally be in the "green zone"?? Or is it too soon to tell? Yesterday and today, I have eaten half of what I have been eating since the surgery.

How many fills have you had? Is this the first time you have felt any "restriction" after a fill? I get my first fill this Saturday, sure hope it helps. So far I've felt no restriction whatsoever.

Who was your dr? How are you doing? First fill yet?

I have my first fill on the 19th. I am hoping I will start to feel that "full" feeling because honestly, I do not feel like I had anything done, like no restrictions etc. I get frustrated but then have to remind myself...it's only been a month...patience,patience,patience!

I just went back to work this week and it was fine. I have chosen not to tell anyone about the surgery, at least at this point. I may change my mind later.

How are you doing, 4 days postop?

Dawn, I think you are going through what we have all felt at one time or another...angry/confused/full of regrets/depressed/frustrated/etc with the occasional "happy" thrown in. I am only a month postop and I totally get the frustration of food limitations. what helped me most was adding sugar-free popsicles and sugar-free Jello, and while they may not be a "meal", you actually get to CHEW something, which felt simply fabulous after the never-ending liquid feasts.

It may not be a huge help, but if you are like me, I was happy to just have something...SOMETHING...different.

Best of Luck..keep us posted on your success!

YES...this is just the info I needed to read today. Although I am only a month postop and haven't even had a fill yet, I find myself getting frustrated...already...because I don't feel any "different." I guess I have to just keep remembering, as others have said, that the weight didn't go on in a day and certainly will not be coming off in one! (It's hard to convince an "I-want-results-and-I-want-them-NOW" kinda gal to be patient )

Thank you, Wendell, for your very informative post and reference tool.
