Personally, I would hold off on the fill. Sounds like you may need to eat more protein to help keep you full. Do you have some protein powder you could add to yogurt or something like that? Have you been keeping track of how much protein your eating daily? I have only had a total of 3 fills and I am almost at my goal weight. Good luck! Chew lots and keep eating slow! Have a great day

I had my surgery in March. The pain happens sometimes with my 1st drink in the morning. I will try to slow down and see if it helps. Thanks everyone!

So sometimes when I eat I get a horrible pain in the left side of my eck. It feels like the muscle on the left side is twisted or tight. It goes a way when I am not eating. It doesn't matter what I am eating. It sometimes happens when I drink too. Anyone else have this happen? I haven't contacted my Doc yet, thought I may get some answers here first. Thanks! Kandy

When I was on my pre-surgery liquid diet I could have cream soups, popcicles, and a few other things. Does the doctor have a set amount of weight he/she wants you to lose prior to surgury? Maybe you can talk to your dietician and see if there is something you can add something different to your diet. Good Luck!

Wow! Good for you! How is the pain?

I Added some updated pictures. Still working toward my goal of 160 lbs. I am getting a fill next week. I am hoping it doesn't get too tight! :thumbup:

Thank you for sharing all of these great recipies!

Yes~ You read it right! 50 lbs gone! :ohmy: I added a couple of pictures today but only of my face - it is too hard to try to get a full body shot by myself! I think you can tell my looking at my face that the second chin is gone. At least thats what I have been told and it is nice to hear! My ultimate goal is to weigh 160 so that is about 18 lbs or so. I am hoping to keep my nose to the grindstone and make it happen. Slipping up pretty good today though... Pizza for brunch? Only one piece though. Hope your all having a sucessfull day! :smile:

Are you eating a lot of the same foods over and over? Sometimes you need to change up what your eating. Are you filling up on protein and not drinking before/after you eat? When I hit my platue I joined a program that helps me track my food and exercise. So far it has worked! Good Luck! Keep trying~ K

CONGRATULATIONS! Keep up the good work!

Have you tried chewing your food even more? My other thought is eating slower. Hope you get some relief! I know how uncomfortable it can be!
