anon 1 Posted June 8, 2007 At 6 weeks out I had the same feelings as you regarding restriction, this was because I was, like you, satisfied with 600-900 calories a day.... at the end of week 7 it disappeared and I was as hungry as I was pre op! So I booke my fill to help me along the way.... only has a smallish fill it's been variable with really good restriction some days and none at all on other days. Previously I've lost 125lbs on my own with no band. Unfortunately it all came back and then some more! I could suffer and follow the same Very low calorie diet I did and lose the weight again, but this way, it's no hardship, I'm not hungry (most days) and I eat what I fancy, in small quantities and I've lost 16.5kg so far... ( my starting BMI was 43 so I expect slower weightloss than your spectacular 39lb!) It's still early days for both of us and maybe when we're further down the line we'll have different opinions/thoughts on fills and how to use our newly fitted 'tool'!
