Finally I Feel Full



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery dec 27 11 from then and now i have lost only about 10 pounds.I have had 5 fills i think i am at 6.7 cc. Every month i would get a fill and i would feel nothing like i never had the band i told the doctor what a waste of time he said it will eventually work.So i had a fill on monday and i waited a couple of days to go to solids and bam i felt restriction with little food what a difference so i just want to say hang in there you will get there.Today i had tuna and i barely had 2 spoons and i was full for like 4 hours .It will come patience now to figure out what i can and canot eat Goodluck everyone!!!

that is really good to know. I am 45 days post op and down 25lbs, 2 sizes and about 5 inches. I just had my first fill 3 days ago and feel no different. If I lost weight with no restriction woo hooo to restriction. thanks

Restriction is such an awesome thing! Just got another fill after a 4 month plateau and 7 pound gain..and i've lost 8 pounds in less than a week..I know that is fast but I think I needed to shock my body...come on size 10!

thank you so much for the encouragement... I had my surgery on 12/28 and I have lost nothing.. I initially lost weight, but slowly put out all back because I am just hungry all the time.. My last fill is finally offering some restriction.. very little though..

I had my surgery the 16th of march and I'm at 9cc in a 14cc band and I finally feel good too!!! I do not feel hungry a lot now. So eventually it works. Just takes time. I can now easily go from meal to meal w/I needing to snack because I feel full and satisfied. In fact I'm to the point where I'll realize it's time to eat because I get hungry rather than thinking about food just an hr after eating. It's very nice!

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
