Got a fill but still eatting and not losing?



Recommended Posts

Okay, I am down 25 pounds. The scales have not really moved in over a month. I got my first fill last Tuesday. I eatting but am not feeling stuffed full that I thought I would be feeling. I was filled 1.5cc and my stomach is 1 ounce?

I know I'm eatting more than one ounce at a time.

Any suggestions here?

I am starting Curves in the morning and I'm hoping that just more excersise will get the scales moving again?

Like now I think I'm hungery? I could eat now...

I've have today:

1-6oz glass oj--Breakfast

Lunch-

rib meat 8 to 10 small bites

3 tablespoons mash potato

1 teaspoon applesauce

walked outside working hanging christmas lights

dinner

1/2 cup refried bean, cheese, cream cheese with 4 chip

snack

6 bites pieces of carmel corn-*I know I should have passed*

I have also had 6- 8oz glasses of tea with lots of ice

What am I doing wrong? Does this sound normal for just getting a fill?

HELP!!!

:cry

You are doing nothing wrong. Yes, it is normal after the first fill, even the second, even the third. For me, I may have true restriction after my second (2.7ccs in a 4cc band).

Congrats on your 25 pound weight loss. If you continue to plateau and you know it's not the amount or the kind of food you are eating, then another fill may be in order.

You're doing great!

Here's what I noticed. You are eating too much sugar. Fruits and carbs are sugar. juice is really something to avoid because it's pure sugar to your body. If you're still healing than ignore me, but if you're not then you need to find more Protein and complex carbs to eat.

*Most of what I'm telling you I learned as gestation diabetic with my 2nd pregnancy.

BBQ sauce has sugar added, so in addition to the other sugar foods you ate with dinner you are on sugar overload.

Your doing just fine!!! And normally the amount of food is measured after the chewing.. not before.

If your on a plateau the weight is not getting less but surely your measurements are.

Congrats on ur weightloss!!!!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
