Hi, I am going for my second fill on the 17th of this month. Will I see a big change in the food I can eat? I can eat just about everything and alot of it.

No two individuals will have the same experiences on their weight loss journeys. Much depends on how aggressive your surgeon is with your fills.

I've asked my surgeon to be conservative with my fills...and he agrees. After 3 fills I have 4cc of fluid; I can definitely feel the difference, but doubt I'm ever going to be in the "zone". I would rather take the responsibility for my weight loss then risk being too tight.

It is the patient's responsibility to comply with the diet your surgeon wants you to follow...that means healthy food choices and Portion Control.

Well I got first fill 3 months ago and lost 7 pounds at 4.5 cc then I got second fill of three ccs and lost 17 pounds then my third fill got 1.5 cc and lost 6 pounds. Now got fourth fill today of 2 cc so hoping to get a good loss this month. Of corse I've been burning around 1200 cals aday riding bicycle and swimming so it's not been all easy and I've been eating between 700 and 850 cals aday just saying

Ok after having 10.5cc in my 14cc band I'm really feeling a lot of restriction. I barely got down 1 cup pinto Beans last nite for supper. Am I close to "green zone". I even noticed that if I take to big a drink of orange mango juice it takes a minute to get through if that's normal

Congratulations on your great weight loss. A steady decrease in weight is the WTG.

        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
