I have been at a stand still for a month now lost 4 lbs in 2 months feels soooo slow. I know I am getting close to my sweet spot hoping for a bigger loss this month. Exercise is the key to my success and the better I feel the more I am doing! We can do this!

Restriction is different for everybody, don't be discouraged if you don't lose weight immediately, you will get there. It took me 6cc to feel some sort of restriction, but I have been exercising a lot and I love it. I think eating healthy and exercising is the key. I hope you do amazing and keep us posted.

I lost 12 lbs the first two weeks after surgery and then none for 3.5 months. I didn't feel any restriction till my 3rd fill and then I started to lose weight. I don't think I would have lost as much had it not been for my nutritionist's advice at that 3rd fill meeting. I didn't find the green zone till my 6th fill.

I got my first fill today at 4 weeks post op. I had 6 cc's put in and wow I felt restriction right away, I am almost afraid it's too tight but I am getting food in and don't feel sick there is just a slight feeling of pressure. I drank a glass of Water and ate Soup for dinner and it all went down so now we shall see after I sleep on it. So exciting!!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
