Hang in there, it is frustratinf when weight is steady. Just keep eating good nutrition and be sure to get heart rate up to target when u exercise. The new exercise plan is good idea. Keep your body guessing! How much have you lost?

I had my fill Wednesday and could only get .5 cc which put m at 3.5. She tried to get me up to 5cc but it was to tight and when I drank the Water I can feel it gurgling in my chest. Now everything is still going down easy again ! ! ! ! ! I am not hungry though as much and sticking to the 3 times a day meal and only a cup full. The PA said that some people in the start stomach get irritated with fills causing them to get a little at a time. Any of the old bandsters had this problem? Let a sista know LOL ! !

Girl yes, that was me. They could only fill me a little at a time. That's why it has taken me so long to lose but I consider it as a good thing because now the weight will stay off and I won't be subject to gaining like I have in the past. As long as you are feeling restriction, you will be fine. :)

Ok thanks for that input. I'm ok with losing slow as long as I lose. Even though things are going down easy still I still can eat only a little and be satisfied.

I am going to the true results out my memorial city for a fill on Wednesday. There you can get an appointment every two weeks if you need it versus going to the office on south main. If everything works out I may just continue getting my fills out there. I lost 9 lbs since the 17th when I got my first fill and stopped. So does it work like that you get fills weight loss start and when it stops it times for another fill until you hit your green zone?That's what I am getting. Can any of the seasoned bandsters respond and let me know? Thanks I am also going to post this in the main forum to see if I can get a fast response. lol

      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.
