Had first fill, not feeling much restriction. Advice please



Recommended Posts

So I'm 5 days after my first fill.

Not feeling much if any restriction. Is this normal?

I'm finding I'm snacking more and could easily eat bread without a struggle.

Advice needed if anyone has any please!

Give it time. I wasn't feeling full then I made the mistake of eating solids 6 days out and I can't believe I did that. Because now I'm two weeks out and just eating mashed Beans at 2oz a sitting is hard.

@@loulou12, it's common for one adjustment to leave room for improvement and wise to go on the slower side than race into things. It's also not uncommon for an adjustment to take a little longer to "settle in." Call your surgery practice and ask how long they wait between adjustments. In the meantime, it is up to you to make good choices. It will also be up to you later on.

@@MTWilliams, I noticed a topic that you started in the sleeve forum and send good wishes for success as you go along. Sleeve and band surgery are quite different animals.

After my first fill (4cc's) I started to GAIN weight

Went I went for my second fill I was apprehensive.

My Dr. laughed at me....said I really did not understand the "process"

That was 6 years ago

All I can say is "Look at me now"

      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.

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