I had 2.75 out and they put a little in at a time more than at beginning but not all at once. Wendy

CANNOT LOSE GRRRR Journaling,exercising,eating 4 oz of protein at meals, no bread,rice, or pasta. Tried upping protein with protein powder, switching exercise and food. Drinking my water. I feel restriction so don't think I need a fill. Refused one last mo. My nut in office is ditzy. Band' o Band what do you want me to do tell me i'll do it. 28 lbs to go ... Wendy

sorry your normal. BTW you are not taking the easy way out. You will be working hard. Also I go out to eat and some of the things you used to eat you will be able to eat just differently. Some things you won't and really not miss them. The smaller sizes and the healthy feeling you have will be worth it. Good luck to you and congrats with your decision. The day I went for surgery i was in the hospital and turned to my husband and said i still have time to change my mind and leave. 2+ yrs later glad i stayed and had surgery. Wendy

Everyone is dfferent it also depends on where you are in your journey. Sometimes i can down a lot other times i can sip.

dont think they can miss slippage but defiantly sounds tight. wendy

pre plan and always walk around with a bottle (glass) of water (crystal lite mo or what ever you drink).you cant eat and drink sot cuts out the snacking. Also mingle. If you are putting snacks out put out stuff you are comfortable eating. Wendy

Welcome to both of you. There is some great info here. Just remember everyones body is different. The is an amazing amount of support. wendy

i agree with the adorkbl. Your body needs to heal.

njmomma, i feel for you. SO I was nice now get yourself together you can do it. Let me tell you a little about me may be it would help. I was in green. Doing ok. Then bam out of no where throwing up, reflux night cough. They took 2.75 out. .They said I would have to wait 10 weeks for a fill. It was so hard but i told myself not will not allow myself to gain it back. I had already put on 4 lbs. So this is what i did- I measured my food and logged my food i mean eveything even an m & M. I exercised and made sure i drank my water. I went to my fitness pal. I also went to the chat here and boards . Gained 2 lbs in 10 weeks, You can do it. Our minds are very strong but so are we.!!!! Good luck you can do it. Wendy

when i was up to mushies i ate anything i could mush with processor including veggies wendy

no beer no soda thats what mt dr says ask your doc

your body is still healing. Speak to doc he may suggest a fill. Not everyone loses till first fill. After your first fill you may not feel restriction cause it takes a few. Good luck wendy
