I received my 3rd fill on Tuesday and all I can say is wowsers. I hardly eat and when I do I feel full yippee.. Is this what I have been waiting for? The second day was extremely hard I kept getting stuck. I have to retrain myself again.. :thumbup:

I think you are doing good. There may be some swelling, so you may get a bit looser over the next few days. Are you able to get in enough calories and protien? If you can't, I would give it a few days and then call the doctor if it persists. You don't want to be so tight you can't eat enough.

Glad to hear that..that is what I am hoping for on my 3rd fill in a month. I have had 2 so far and do have a little restriction but can still eat 2cups of food before I start feeling full! I am hving a bad week and eating more than I should and food I shouldnt be eating...but Im getting back on track..I am hoping I get that feeling with my 3rd!! Good luck!

I am 100% right where you are......23 days to my 3rd fill, I am praying I get that restriction everyone talks about that "wowzers" feeling! I can surely eat 2 cups.....and still get hungry 2 hours after eating..food is still on my mind all the time (bummer). But, I am walking and journaling everyday hopefully that will get me through!

Thanks for sharing your fill experiences.... we all seem to be going through a similar experience and trying to reach that place. I've only had one fill of 4cc and feel no restriction. I could also easil consume two cups of food. It's tough!!!! How long do you have to wait between fills?

So far it has been 4 weeks between fills.

I have a 3d fill scheduled for Friday. I have a total of 6 cc right now. The first week after the second fill I had some restriction but it went away. My doctor says at least 3 weeks between fills. I was originally schedule to get the fill on 11/11 but I really would like some restriction. I have stopped loosing and am working out every day. Kind of frustrating because I am weighing my food and counting calories and not getting anywhere.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
