One Week From 1St Fill

[Tim Galloway 0]

One week from first fill, waiting paitently. Can eat but force self not to. 14 pounds loss since surgery, 27 pounds loss total. Anticipating easier journey after fill. I exercise daily and eat as little as possible.

Welcome to all, enjoy your companionship during our journey's.

I get first fill in about two weeks. I can pretty much eat anything also, but have been watching how much and what I eat. I have been doing really well until last night. I had such a craving for chips and salsa and gave in. I know I ate more chips than I should have. I'm trying not to feel guilty about it and will just get back on track today.

I just had my first fill yesterday, it was easy! No issues at all. I have a 14 cc band, 5 in at surgery, 1 cc in at my fill yesterday. I don't feel restriction at all yet- I'm telling you this so you don't worry if you don't either. It can take several fills to reach restriction!! I am just going to schedule mine as close together as possible, LOL. I too have real hunger (as opposed to head hunger) but only eat what I'm supposed to. It's a process- someone on here said the first few weeks are for healing, then a few months to get to restriction, then it's to the weight loss- of course trying to lose weight on the way.

Congrats, I know for me it feels good to be on a journey to lose weight that I will be successful at!!

Good luck on your first fill. It will take more than 1 for restriction. Maybe 5. Are you eating chips? why?

I recommend that you measure your food. This is your window of opportunity to lose the weight that you had the surgery for. i paid cash for mine. I have not had bread or white flour in 2 years. I didnt want to be fat and unhealthy for the rest of my life. I suggerst that you watch your carbs. Up Protein. carbs make you fat and want more carbs, Protein keeps you full and makes you lose weight. good luck
