I had my first post-op appointment today (surgery was 9/27) I have los

Oops new phone, I hit send by accident! Anyways, I have lost 21.5 pounds! Surgeon said I am doing very well! I was happy to hear that as I feel like a lot of threads that I read, everyone seems to be losing more much faster. I also got my first fill today, 1.5 cc fill. He had me drink Water make sure it would go down, it did. Now that I am home though, it seems much tighter than at the office! Is this normal? As this is my first fill since the original 2.5 cc fill during surgery. I don't know what normal feels like. Any advice is appreciated!

It is normal to feel swollen after a fill, that is why some doctors order liquids for 24 to 48 hrs after. Did your doctor order that? Mind has me do 24hrs liquid, 24hrs mushie, then regular diet.

Good luck.

21.5 lbs is great, I had my first fill on Friday and was 23lbs down at 6 weeks (Surgery Sept 17th). I am happy with that. I don't feel restriction on my band yet so need to focus on the eating. Good luck.

I'm 10 months post op, down 93 lbs from 213 to 120 & have had 4 fills. After each fill, I had 2-3 days of tight restriction so I did liquids then soft/mushy for a few days then to normal food. There are many things I can no longer eat but the trade off is worth it!!

I am on liquids for 24 hours and mushies for 24. I am still in the soft food phase of my post-op diet anyways so it doesn't change much except for the 24 hours of liquid. It's so cold and miserable here from Hurricane Sandy (power is out at my office so it's an unexpected day off!) the only thing that sounds good anyways is soup!

Wow! 93 lbs in 10 months! That is great! Congratulations! You must feel like a totally different person! Can I ask what type of exercise routine you have? Like how many days a week, for how long and what you are doing?

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
