Camping trip and week 4



Recommended Posts

I am about a week away from my first fill. I was banded on June 2nd and get my first fill on July 5th. I have been on a camping trip for the last 2 weeks and all these friends seem to do is want to eat. I have done very well I think but I am finding that this last week I seem to be able to eat more. Will the first fill help me restrict this. I am proud to say I have had no cokes, chips or bread for 1 month now and that was my habit foods. I am trying to eat only Protein and for some reason I am eating a lot of cottage cheese and Tomato chopped up. I have never ate that but it is delicious now and I think it is good for me. I have lost 7 lbs. at the first weight in but I haven't weighted since, can't wait to see how I have done at the 1 month mark. About how long did it take to see any difference in the way you look? I realize this is a slow process but I will be so excited when I can see just a little change.

It seems to take 3-4 fills for a lot of people. Your probably hungrier now because the swelling from surgery went down. I would say I really saw a change after I lost about 15 pounds. Congrats on your surgery and keep up the good work.

I had my first fill 4 days ago and I definitely fee a difference! When I went outto eat I could only eat a very small portion of what I ordered and gave my hubby the rest. I am not as hungry between meals either! From my understanding the eefcts if the first fill are short lived, but I am enjoying it so far. My doc used the fluro. xray for the first fill and maybe that made a difference in ensuring the right amount?

Congrats on making such great changes in your eating habits!

As far as when you can see a difference- well I guess that depends on your starting weight and how much you have to lose. At 20 ponds down I can feel a difference and my waistline is being more defined.

Good luck!
