Tres Chic 0 Posted April 5, 2007 Yasmina: congrats on surviving your first fill, and for surviving what appears to be WINTER IN APRIL in Toronto... grrrrrrr. I've been finding I have much better restriction since the second fill, but I think the 3rd one will be the charm (based on what my January counterparts tell me). Hey, are any of you folks going to the conference in May? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tres Chic 0 Posted April 5, 2007 DameJ, et al... Update on my 2nd fill I definately have a little more restriction, and I've found I have to be much more conscientious about eating tiny pieces, slower eating and chewing well. I'm also eating considerably less. Thankfully, I've only had 1 incident of getting something stuck (which is unpleasant to say the least). I guess this is a learning curve here... For instance, I'd dearly love to know before I take that last bite that puts me over the edge. Enjoy your Easter everyone (or Passover, or whatever) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yasmina 0 Posted April 5, 2007 What conference ? On Tuesday when I was in Toronto it was a lovely day, a little rain , but not bad.Fly back to Thunder bay and I am in winter hell !!! I do feel restriction as well. My problem is the chewing and eating slow. When I was there on Tuesday, they told me to drink lots of Water all day up until you eat . That may help me get used to the little sips. Got to work on that ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yasmina 0 Posted April 6, 2007 I had restriction up to my first fill. Now I do have a little more. My biggest probles is the chewing and slowing down when I eat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tres Chic 0 Posted April 7, 2007 Hey Tres chic Welcome back! I feel for you. I got my first fill last week and I hate needles. Thank goodness she only stuck me once. I couldn't imagine 5 times. :omg: Anyway I am in the same boat as you. I don't really have any restriction so I am not loosing but I am not gaining either. I think I will have to call for another fill. Let me know how this second fill goes for you. If you feel more restriction and stuff. I know it is different for everyone but I am a curious person. With this second fill I'm significantly more restricted. I had my first experience with PBing and Sliming. Not meaning to gross anyone out but the pain of having food stuck is way worse than throwing it up (which actually gives you relief). Now I'm afraid to eat so I've lost 2 lbs since Friday! I have to eat more, but make my bites WAY smaller and SLOW DOWN. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yasmina 0 Posted April 14, 2007 That is my biggest probles too. I really need to slow down, and think ! I feel I need more restriction, My next fill is on Friday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yasmina 0 Posted April 16, 2007 I thought that I would feel some restriction after the first, and I did for about a min. Now nothing ! I have 4cc in now, how much will they put in on Friday ? I am really trying to stick the fisg , fruit and veg's and stay away from the Pasta and bread. It is going pretty good. Although I did have a meat and cheese sandwitch with out the bread last night. I know I as weird. I have been to the gym three times this week , which is three times better then last week ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
susansilver 0 Posted April 16, 2007 Hey Yasmina - you are doing great! Hang in there and you will find your right fill level (hopefully on Friday) Susan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dame J 0 Posted April 16, 2007 Yasmina Susan is right you are doing so well. Way to go! Tres thanks for the updates. Hopefully this 2nd fill isn't too crazy. I am becoming a lot better at chewing my food and going slowly through my meals. I am still trying to control the sizes but I have to say that is my weakness. I don't seem to have any restriction so I try to just listen harder to my body and stop eating before I damage myself. I am going for my second fill this wednesday so hopefully that will help with keeping the meal sizes down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msrobby73 0 Posted April 16, 2007 Yasmina My first fill was 5cc and I really didnt feel anything different. Next fill was 2cc, and I felt some restriction, then 3rd fill was 1cc. Felt even more restriction, but it seems to be gone again :phanvan Robyn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gaffer 1 Posted April 16, 2007 Yasmina Susan is right you are doing so well. Way to go! Tres thanks for the updates. Hopefully this 2nd fill isn't too crazy.

I don't seem to have any restriction so I try to just listen harder to my body and stop eating before I damage myself. I am going for my second fill this wednesday so hopefully that will help with keeping the meal sizes down. I had my second fill last friday, they added 1CC for a total of 5CC. The restriction really kicked in Sunday afternoon, which means that I spent Sunday night sliming and PBing. Joy. Today seems a bit better, but I think I will take stock of this fill later in the week and see about getting .5CC taken out. I think my stomach might be a little swollen from the PBing so I feel pretty tight today. I am still able to eat and drink so I am fine that way. Hopefully all goes well with your fills.

Yasmina 0 Posted April 16, 2007 Why is tight then ig goes ? where does it go ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gaffer 1 Posted April 16, 2007 Why is tight then ig goes ? where does it go ? I dont know, but I noticed that I was noticeabley tighter Sunday than I was friday and saturday. I noticed with my first fill that it began to fade after a while. I dont know if anyone has an answer as to why sometimes fill take some time to kick in, but that is why they make you wait a couple of weeks between fills.
