yes, i am guessing because you are still (swollen from surgery and now your fill) but that being said, you must keep sipping your liquids (and get as much Protein in as you can as that is your fuel). i am from a place where i eat when i am hungry. i am not on a diet or a set schedule...i just eat (better things). congrats on your surgery and that first fill :)

I had the same issues with some of my fills. My doctor told me to just do liquids for at least 24 hours, when I got my 4th fill and they put in 2 cc they told me to do liquids for 48 hours. I just sipped Water and sipped Protein shakes for that time and that was enough to keep me satisfied.

I was told that sometimes after a fill you swell a bit and that causes some extra restriction that will go away after a few days. Just make sure you are getting liquids in the worst thing to do is dehydrate yourself- trust me- been there done that and you think you will die!

I am told after evry fill.....stay to liquids for 24 hrs after the fill.....and I dont think Im hungry during that time.....

Im not sure if its just I know I cant eat or if its cuz Im not hungry...

I will have to watch and see after next fill.....but Im in the green so im hoping that wont be for a while....good luck and congrats !

Thanks for the input guys, it has made me feel better hearing your experiences. Carolinagirl I am going to stick to the same theory, no hunger no food. Good luck all with your journey guys.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      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
