I always schedule fills early in the morning. My doctor always reminds me to stay on liquids for 24 hours after the fill. Then soft foods for next 24 hours. I haven't felt my 2 fills so far. It's no big deal and you're released quickly. My doctor usually has me drink some Water to make sure I can.

Don't think about the fills as painful, because it won't be and you might not even know it's done.

i dont own a scale for that very reason. I would be weighing myself every day. Instead I go somewhere else once a week. Dont worry about the fill. The worst part for me is the liquid for 24 hours after. I hate being on liquids I like to eat my calories. Congrats for making it to your first fill!!

I had my first fill yesterday. The anxiety was definitely worse than the reality.....not too bad at all. A little disconcerting to look down and see the needle, but not really painful at all.

Good luck!

Don't look at the needle! Think happy thoughts. Liquids only for 24 hours. Don't force it. But... don 't expect weight to fall off like it did in the post surgery liquid diet. Remember 1-2 pounds a week is a lot. Faster weight loss messes with your metabolism. Slow and steady. Weigh only once a week at MOST. You will drive yourself crazy with Water weight fluctuations! Be strong and congrats on your first fill!

I haven't been on the scale since I started mushy- and now I can eat anything.. fill was to be today- its been delayed till tomorrow because something came up with my Dr ...I'm not even sure I'm still at a 20lb loss.. I would really like to feel my pants getting big big.. I know many hit 50lb losses around 3 to 5 months??

        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
