Weight loss before fill



Recommended Posts

Have a question , is it normal to not be losing weight before you get a fill.. I'm doing everything I was told.. I can see inches, I've lose 25 lbs but it's of that was within the liquid stage, every since I been on solids I have not had any loss.. So I'm just wondering is that normal..again I'm doing everything my doctor suggested.. I just want to know did other go thru this before a fill.

Thanks

Very, very normal. The band is not at its optimum until you reach the fill amount that works for you.

Kandy12 I lost a few lbs here and there before my first fill and have lost a few after that, but so know I am not anywhere near my Green Zone...I have only had 2 cc's put it and someday I am so hungry and other days I have to force myself to eat. the only way I know there is a band inside is when I get stuck. so I was told to up my Protein and make sure I was drinking at least 64 oz a day of fluids. call your doctor's office and maybe they can offer you some help. I'll keep you in my prayers okay?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        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!
