To fill or not to fill???



Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

Well, I guess it is my turn to start a new thread. I am really wondering about fills and whether I should have another one or not. I would appreciate your opinions and thoughts.

I am still losing well (better than I thought only 3 lbs to go to hit my Christmas goal- I am averaging around 2.5 lbs per week). But it is a lot of work to get there. I am scheduled for a fill on November 29th and since I have to fly down to get it, it is kind of important that I do it when I can.

But... I have had no problems - no pb's no getting stuck. Yep I have restriction but that's it. And I am going to my in-laws for 2 weeks at Christmas and I don't want to be so tight that it is crazy.

So... all of this to say... should I get a fill or wait until after Christmas. I am sure like many of you that I am terrified of not getting it done and then gaining weight (do we ever loose that fear?).

I would love your thoughts out there.

Thanks,

Dawn

My opinion is that it is a no brainer. If you are averaging 2.5 lbs a week, you definitely do NOT need a fill...it working wonderfully for you....so why mess with it?

What do you mean by saying "I have restriction but that is it"?? You say it like that is a bad thing. That is what is supposed to happen....you should be able to be at the sweet spot (ie. lose 1-2 lbs per week) and NOT experience sliming, pbs, pain, stuck feeling etc....THAT IS the goal.

So personally, I think you'd be nutso to mess with where you're at!!!!

I don't mince words sometimes, eh?! LOL

Thanks for not mincing words Yoda!!! I think I just needed to hear it. Of course this weekend I was up 2 lbs (seems my cycle is lose 3 or 4 during the week and then gain 1 or 2 on the weekend.)

I think you guys are right and I will wait it out a bit more/

Thanks a lot.

I agree with what has already been said Delta, averaging 2.5 lbs a week is awesome, i would hold of on getting a fill for awile yet.

Your weight loss is awesome, i would love to have that much already. You are doing great.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
