Getting my first fill on wed! What does it feel like?

I had my first fill last Thursday I didn't feel much just pressure from the doc finding the port and they had me sip some Water to make sure I can swallow ok.

So far so good. I'm going totally low carb and high Protein with eating. Atkins style so to speak. I'll be 4 weeks post op this Friday. Since I started eating soft foods this week like chicken and fish my weight loss seems to have jump started again. Although I'm still only eating a couple of tablespoons in the morning and about 4 ounces of protein for lunch and dinner. No hunger in between meals and I'm not up to one cup yet. So far 31 lbs lost from pre-op to now. How about everyone else?

Congrats on the weight loss. I started my soft foods stage early and I am at a stand still with my weight loss. They had to up my food intake because I was constantly hungry. My total weight loss is 21 lbs. I get my first fill 1/21. I hope it helps out. I walk or exercise 3 times a week. Hopefully this will also help out!

Current pre-op wt 344 down 324

Victorious - Congrats in the weight loss! You sound like you are doing well! My weight loss just started back up again when I started solid foods this past week. Hang tight...it's not you. Most likely the body just adjusting!

I ended up gaining 2 lbs but I think it was related to we as women being so lucky! Lol, then I lost 1.1 lbs. I'm actually doing pretty good mentally and physically. Having the band has jumped started my motivation. I have been doing some sort of exercise almost daily. From null to full! Lol. My recovery is well! I am nervous because I had to squeeze into my car the other day and hope I did not knock anything loose!!! I get filled Monday. Ill keep u updated.

How's it going?? I'm not on here much except for weekends since I went back to work.

Victorious - I'm awesome, thank you for asking! My next appt is the 2nd week of February. The week before last I lost 5 lbs and this past week 2.5. I am still at about 3/4 - 1 cup of food 3 times a day and I'm good with that. No hunger in between so far. If it continues that way I'm not going to get filled. My mental will is still strong and I would rather wait to get filled until I really needed. So far, I'm not regretting a single thing. How about you? Hanging in there?

My will power is somewhat strong, but not as strong as yours! LOL, I had , to increase my intake because I was soo hungry physically. I called and they told me to increase my food intake. I am eating about a cup of food a meal

[Jewelsm1127 351]

Victorious - From everything I'm reading 1 cup is the norm. I have the permission to eat that much I just haven't gotten there yet. Not sure if it's because mentally I was set for all of this or what. But that's why I figure I ride that wave as long as it lasts! Then when I come back here whining I'm hungreeeeeeeee, I'll go get that fill! :-) It sounds like you are still doing great. And fills are there for a reason so use it if you need it...nothing wrong with that, that's for sure.

Thanks Jewelsm1127

Still not losing just down 20 which I was always good at losing in the past. My doc kinda rushed me through the 1month post op and wouldn't give me a fill even though I wanted one badly. I mentioned I had a tiny bit of trouble with a piece of beef. I am trying daily and drinking alot Water. I'm still hungry....
