Has anyone postponed a fill due to losing too much weight??



Recommended Posts

I postponed my fill today because I have lost 15lbs already this month. Since April 13th, I have lost a total of 68 lbs and I feel really good. I am not uncomfortable, nothing has ever gotten stuck, and I have never thrown up. I just do not want to push my luck. I still have little restriction, but I am HAPPY... Anyone else feel this way??

I have postponed, but only when I've felt my level of restriction was good. I don't like white-knuckling it.

If you're satisfied, it sounds like you're where you need to be! Your rate of loss is excellent.

Just to be clear: throwing up has nothing to do with losing weight.

There have been times when I would go see my doctor and not have a fill.

What I meant was I have little restriction, but i do not want to have too much restriction-when things have trouble getting or staying down...So far that has never happened to me, so I am afraid to tempt fate!!

If you're comfortable, eating comfortably, and losing at a rate you are happy with then why mess with perfection? Congrats! You've done great!

I've only had two fills and the first did absolutely nothing. The second has lasted me five months and counting, and I've also never thrown up. I make an appointment every month (they're hard to come by) and then cancel and make another. I could possibly use a teeny bit more restriction, but I'm afraid to mess with a good thing. When I can't get through a plateau and am craving pizza, THAT'S when I'll get a fill.

Good luck to you. I'd stay where you are!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
