That is frustrating, hopefully it will all work out for you soon. I was kinda suprised that they only put in 1cc, but now I am glad that they did not go for more.

Are you feeling any improvement over before you were filled?

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 ? '

Yasmina: I had 5 cc at the first fill and 1.5 cc at the second. I go for my third on Wednesday, Apr 18th, and a friend said I'd get 1 or 1.5 this time.

My experience is that I'm not that restricted IMMEDIATELY after the fill, but a few days later it seems to kick in. Then, after about 10 days I start feeling hungrier and have less restriction. Also, I'm a night-time snacker and I've noticed that I have less restriction at night than I do in the morning. In other words, I have some habits to change.

Tres Chic i am very tight when i wake up too. I am a shift worker and it takes a few hours for me to eat anything. I only have 3.5 cc in after having 2 defills.

Gaffer to answer the question, no I wish I felt something, any indication the band was acturally in there would be nice (I have the scars to prove something happened). I now have 5cc in the 10 cc band and the person who does my fills said often people don't feel much until 7 or 8 cc's,so I'm trying to be patient and remember the post Yoda had in a few days ago about not rushing things, the trouble is I was so "up" for the first while after surgery and now unfortunitly I'm falling back into some of my bad habits from before....I need to get some of my earlier excitment back and to get disiplined again.

It is hard to keep that momentum going, I know what you mean. That has been the undoing of all my previous attempts.

Hang in there. Your time will come and you will be off to the races.

Sounds like us February Bandsters are having a bit of a struggle right now. Let's keep our eyes on the prize and hope for that 'sweet spot'.

Just came from having my 3rd fill so I'm on fluids today. I didn't lose any weight in the last two weeks (since my 2nd fill), which was a little disappointing. Nevertheless, I'm feeling positive. I'll let you know how this fill goes once I start eating again.

Hi: Feb. seems to be a tough month. I will know "officially" on Monday what I have lost. Not more than three lbs since surgery I would think. Yippeeeeee! Must be a record. Doddie

Lori and Argon... you have both lost enough to be at a plateau for 2 weeks! I'm guessing "fluids" after my fill didn't mean a DQ Blizzard...

:embarassed:

Doddie: You and I had surgery the same day at TLBC. Have you had 3 fills now?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
