I had my first fill on 1/24. I've lost 35 pounds and I'm feeling great!!!!!

However, today was my first solid food after the fill and I only ate a small amount of tuna and got a terrible feeling in my chest. Has anyone else experienced this??

Keep up the great work!!

Congratulations on your progress!

I do have a question for you. Many people say that they have trouble losing weight before they start to get fills because, once they heal from the surgery, they are hungry again and have no significant restriction. Did you find that you did have restriction before the first fill? Or, if you had no restriction, were you able to lose weight just by "dieting"?

Any info on this would be appreciated.

Thanks

marj9,

I think everyone is different. I am hitting 5 weeks and can eat as much if not more than what I was eating before the surgery. I've lost only 17 lbs or so but I'm pretty dang proud of it. Even though I do get the pain when the food is going down and I can't eat that fast, I can keep eating all day. So maybe it depends on the person. I am going for my first fill next week and can't wait. guess we'll see what happens.

Lots of luv! Alice

Sounds like you might have took too big of a bite. My doc said the size of the tip of your pinky finger. Take your time, small bites and chew like mad. Congats on your weight loss that's alot...good luck:hungry:

yeah, my doctor told me the same thing, but I keep forgetting and I've tried to take bites like I normally had. Then when the pain begins I smack myself and remind myself to eat SLOOOOWWWW. ha! Its all a new learning process.

Yep, I hear ya. I keep forgetting too. Tonight I was out eating and I just grab the Water and drank it. I wasn't thinking. It's really something we all have to work on. All these years of doing it and now we have to re-train our eating habits.
