Have the 1st fills helped?



Recommended Posts

Denise, i know what you mean. SOmetimes i come so hungry to the plate i literally have to make myself stop, and remember.

My surgoen held out his pinky and looked at me and said, "NO bites bigger than the NAIL on this finger right?" and i said 'um..yep." and making myself sstick to that is very hard when im hungry.

I bought the babyfood spoons, and even though my boys make fun of me, it really does help make the bites smaller and force you to slow down. ALso, another thing ive learned to make myself do is cut up things very small BEFORE i let myself take a bite. It stretches the time it takes to eat a thing longer.

EVEN with all that, i totally agree....its hard to remember to take tiny bites.

I have had 3 fills and still no restriction. I go back for my forth on May 1st. Hopefully this one will give me what I need to start dropping the lbs!

I had my first fill on Monday the 16th and I forgot how to swallow once I seen the huge needle. I have more restriction, i feel everything that goes down, from Water, to bread that hurts now, I go back on May 21 for another fill....I'm hoping to have lost about 10 pounds by then, that's 2 pounds a week.

wish me luck ;)

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
