1st Fill and out to dinner



Recommended Posts

I had my first fill via xray on Thursday. I could tel I couldn't eat as much, which was great! Today I made a framer's omletter for my DH and another one for me using egg beaters. This was at 12 noon. We had errands to run so around 4pm my DH wanted to go to the Texas Road House Resturant. I wasn't hungry at all! I was thinking that the fill must be working!!

I manage to have him wait and 45 minutes later we were sitting in the Roadhouse. I mean it can't always be about my needs and this is the firsttime we ate out since my surgery.

I ordered the petite filet (6oz) and only ate half...gave hubby the rest!! Whoa!! Only half? I ordered veggies and couldn't finihed them. I had salad and just a few bites! I did have 2 tiny pieces (very tiny) of bread then removed the basket. If this is restriction then I am loving it!!! I ordered a Margarita and could not finish even half of it. I really felt the band helping me today-it was awesome!!! I do realize the first fill's effect could diminish at anytime, but I did have an idea of what the band is capable of!

Nice this is interesting to read! I've been feeling restriction even without a fill; as in today I went to a potluck and ate only a tiny amount of what was there and was just fine, so I'm not even sure if I'm going to get a fill or not. I guess my surgeon will be the one to determine that.

Good job on your progress! That's great news :)

I had my first fill on Friday and I can feel the restriction most in the morning. As the day progresses I am able to eat more so I need to watch it. If this keeps up I will request another fill in next 2 weeks.

      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
