First Fills And Weight Loss!

[lexx 20]

Hi everyone, I'm 6 weeks post-op and haven't had a fill yet! My surgeon thinks my port may be flipped and I see him again in a week to see if I need surgery to fix it!

That being said, I was just wondering how much everyone has lost after there first and second fills! Just trying to stay motivated! I've been

fluctuating for lag

Sorry the iPhone app acts strangely sometimes!

I've been fluctuating + and - 5 for the last 3 weeks and starting to get really discouraged! I think I need to just get my head in the game!

It's important to realize fills don't make you lose weight. Eating healthy, eating smaller portions, and exercising is what makes you lose weight. All fills do is increase the Fluid in your band, and all the band is supposed to do is satiate your hunger with less food for longer periods of time. The band won't physically stop you from eating or make good food choices for you- that is your job to do for yourself.

Good luck with your port. I'll pray it's not flipped but if it is, that you recover quickly and get back to your journey. Best wishes to you.

well, the fills help me eat less each meal. this frist 3 days you get full fast and 1/2 c is like christmas dinner but the swelling goes down and then it is satifing and you have to have a plan to get pass the grazzing. I loss 7 lbs the first few days after surgery (Aug 20) and another 9 in 2 lbs a week since a total of 16 I am happy with that but it is a stuggle to brack bad habbit and get use to healthy foods.

Congrads on your band and hope your port is fine.

Thanks! Yes I think I just feel like I'm at a stand still! Hopefully the port is fine and I can move on!

Line dancer we had surgery same day! Congrats on your loss this far!

Best wishes for good news rather than a port flip.
