I got my third fill on Tuesday. I'm not as restricted as I was with my first fill but I do get full on small amounts of food so I'm good with it for now.

I had my 3rd fill 10 days ago, and I can tell a difference. I eat a smaller amount of food, and I stay full longer. He told me that I needed a fill when I went in, so he gave me 1 cc instead of the normal .5 cc.

Have not had a fill as of yet. My surgeon told me that as long as I am averaging 2-3 lbs /week we will wait until a fill is needed. However, I am taking this time to read and learn from others so that I can be as prepared as realistically possible for the "fill experience".

My first post op visit was 5 weeks post op. My weight loss was good so doc said come back in 6 weeks. I begged him to see me sooner as my weight loss had slowed right down. Saw him 2 weeks later and he tried to do a fill but my port was surrounded by Fluid and he could not access it. Then i was going on holiday and now he is on holiday so in just under 2 weeks he will attempt a fill under xray. Mean time, I am hungry, hungry, hungry and struggling to maintain my weight loss.

I am still eating too fast, will anything bad happen to my band by doing this? I have never PB'd, but it only takes me 15 minutes to eat a meal. I was told that it takes 30-40 minutes to eat after the band. Am I doing this right?

I wolf mine down in about that time too, or less!

I'm so frustrated. Friday I weighed 269. Today I weigh 274. I have been sick since Friday, so I know it wasn't what I ate. Maybe it was what I didn't eat. All I had on Friday was 1/4 of a baked potato. I couldn't keep any thing in my system all weekend until last night. Then I didn't eat very much because my stomach was still crampy feeling. Any ideas on what to do?

3 Month Post Op Update:

Hello all! Things have been going great on my end. I've been working hard to learn this new lifestyle. I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a bite of halloween candy or other little indulgences. The difference this time around is I don't eat the whole bag of halloween candy and i'm not having 2-3 additional servings of indulgences!

I still don't regret this decision at all! I look forward to meeting my many goals down the road. As of 11-12-2010, I am down 86 pounds, which includes my pre-op preparations. I've updated some pictures in my album, check them out!!!

I hope everyone else is doing great on their journey! Good luck, it's a long road ahead but so worth it :thumbup:

Wow! congrats Angela!

I've had to go back to Weight Watchers. I'm not losing and I'm fighting back and forth with the same 5 pounds:( I have very little restriction and my surgeon doesn't want to see me again for 3 MONTHS! Sometimes I wish I would have done the sleeve instead:(

Amanda I feel the same way!! my sister-inlaw had the gastric bypass in July and she is down 75 pounds already. I am yo-yoing up and down with my weight and it is so fustrating. I have had one fill and am not due to go back to the docs until dec 22nd it was Feb, but I called and had it moved up. Dec was the earliest they would give me :thumbup: the doctor likes to take fills slow he said. I have no restriction and am going crazy. I go to the gym everyday and do 45 mins of cardio and weights every other day. I really thought this weight would drop off of me...boy was I wrong...its a struggle :laugh:(

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
