Today was my 4th fill



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! I haven't been on this board in so long. I had my band almost a year now. I am very ashamed to say I only lost 20 lbs. I was doing great in the beginning. Long story short, I never really felt restriction. I felt like I could practically eat anything. bread, chicken and even steak never gave me a problem. My biggest problem is the mental aspect. I eat at night for comfort. I know how bad that is. I really hope this fill will help me feel full sooner. I want to lose weight. I need too. I want to have my own success story one day! Thank you everyone for listening. I hope to be very active on here again :))

I'm sure you'll get there. St least your honest about how things havent gone smoothly for you. The mental aspect of being banded is really hard.. I'm a comfort eater too. Actually I eat or ate for every emotion. Not always sad or lonely. I have a 14 band with 9/5cc's. Finding it a good restriction not hungry..woo hoo. At least my body anyway. Head hunger now and again. I'm sure you'll get there this time. No restriction is hard. Its just a diet and they are not easy...

I too had my fourth fill this month. I have real restriction now. Its kind of a love hate relationship with my band. I love that I cant eat much but sometimes it gets on my nerves. I sit down to eat dinner and the first bite gets stuck. The end to a good meal. My stuck pain is all in my left shoulder. Its weird. I got into a size 14 jeans at Old Navy today so its all good. Size 12 is right around the corner. Yay me.

Thank you both so much. Today is a new day. I am debating between eggs or oatmeal for Breakfast. I only got stuck one time so I hope it doesn't happen now that I have more fill. Part of me feels like its going to be the same as every other fill. Meaning it doesn't seem different at all. I guess I will see! I need to think positive!!

I thought my first couple of fills were useless but actually they were more of a training tool. I ate slightly less each time, but had to do it more thoroughly and slower each time.. I'm now officially green (huge cheer) and I'd never have coped with out the practise. No more ooohh one more bite or snacking.. I'm full so fast. I hope this for you too...

        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.

      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
