I recall getting my fills after surgery. I couldn't wait to see if I had better restriction. The suspense was overwhelming and I only lasted about 30 hours till I had to have something solid to see if there was a difference. I usually started with Soup for lunch the next day and if that went well I would go for salmon or chicken for dinner.

Don't be like me, follow your doctors orders :angry:

Do like 2mf says. I've always been bad too and usually only make it 24 hours on liquid, and sometimes that's a stretch. I have wondered if that's the reason I'm not in my green zone yet with 6.5CC in my band. I have a fill (no. 7) scheduled for Monday and I'm promising myself I'll be good. So you be strong so I can be strong. I'll be looking Monday to see if you made it and how well your feeling any changes to the restriction.

Me too! Got my fills on Thursdays and eating regular by Saturday! I just had my 5th fill and can finally feel the real restriction. Have got stuck 3 times, as a reminder.. Small bites and chew chew chew! Working together with the band:)

Hi Mikee, that pain in your back/shoulder may be your soft stop signal, something I haven't figured out yet for myself. Great to listen in to your body like that and let it tell you when you've had enough. Exciting times! Glad things are going so well. You are really on your way now. Best wishes!

        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
