to fill or not fill - that's my ?



Recommended Posts

I am pondering getting another fill. In some ways I want one b/c I can eat 1 - 1 1/2 cups food at a time. But in other ways I don't want one b/c I can't eat chicken (gets stuck) so I'm always eating ground beef, veggies, Pasta and salad. I am not doing the Protein 1st thing and I am eating alot of crap (candy, crackers, etc). I think a fill might help me eat less, but then again, does it really matter if I'm eating less if I'm eating crap b/c I can;t get chicken down?

MY Dr. said that if you don't lose anything for 4 weeks straight to come see about a fill. Surely your Dr. will tell you to quit with the junk too.

Are you losing still?

I really dont eat too much junk -its just I feel that junk is all I've had this last week b/c of Xmas. I have only lost 2-3 lbs since 2 weeks after my surgery. So that's only 2-3 lbs in the past 2 months. I am going to get another small fill, I have resolved to start inputting my food on fitday.com, and I just signed up for Water aerobics and hubby and I are going to go play tennis tonight. I think I need a mental adjustment as well as a band adjustment!

That's the same thing my doctor told me. I have lost probably 2-3 lbs in the past month. I decided to wait until after the holidays to get a fill. Mine is on Jan. 3rd.

I can't eat chiken anymore either. I've tried all kinds with all kinds of "goo" and still it gets stuck every time, so I've crossed it off of my list of foods not to eat.

Good luck to you! = )

P.S. I was losing slow for a while but have picked up just recently. I haven't changed my ticker but I am now down to the 2's = ) 294.0.

      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. 🤞
