I stopped weighing myself after I started mushies cz I felt I was too obsessed.. but I get my first fill Monday and want to know what to expect.. on all levels.. What to eat, how will I feel, is this where wieght starts to fall off again as it did in the liquid phase??etc etc

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??
