First Fill, Now At 4Cc's And Doing Well...i Guess?



Recommended Posts

Hi guys! I had my first fill Fri the 6th by a different doc than performed surgery. I had 2 cc's put in during surgery, which I guess explains the bread getting stuck issue from the get go. She added 2 more cc's Fri for a total of 4. I do notice getting full on smaller portions (protein always first) and I can eat a cup to a cup and a half? Does that seem right? I've heard some ppl get full on a few bites.

I haven't got a ton of info on nutrition besides Protein first, if still hungry then veggies/fruits, and LAST carbs/starches. I rarely make it past the protein. If so, maybe 3 bites of a side dish.

I do seem to get full sooner, but am hungry more often...say every 3 hrs. Usually I swig some Water or Crystal Light and it goes away for a while. I'd like to go a little longer between meals, maybe on the next fill. I also serm tighter in the morn, replacing Breakfast with a proteon shake. Usually half abt 8, and the other 1/2 a couple hrs later. So...does this seem fairly normal (whatever that is...lol)? I don't have anyone to compare to, so I was hoping for a little feedback here. Thanks!

You sound like you are right on track! With a bit more restriction you will be able to go for longer periods without being hungry. I used to drink lots of Water to get me through the hungry periods. I rarely get hungry these days. I eat to get my Protein in!

I have had 4 fills, and am finally feeling good restriction. Your stomach/body needs time to adjust to the fill, some people dont feel any restriction until 5 or 6 fills, so if you are feeling some restriction after just one, you may be right where u want to be. The hunger will start to go away in time as well. Good luck!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      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
