should i get my second fill?



Recommended Posts

i had my first fill on january 4th(.5cc in a 4cc band). today is feb 6 and ive lost 12lbs since my first fill. i noticed that i can eat like i used to. i dont mean quantity but i eat fast and dont chew well and i dont have any problems. i meet with my surgeon on feb 26 and i was thinking of getting my second fill. as far as loosing i think 12 pounds in one month is pretty good. i did go one week with no weight loss but once i increased my calories from 800-1000 to 1200 i lost 6lbs in one week. i have gotton a little of track though by eating a sweet a day for the past 4 days(im having problems at work and may have to find another job). i need to get back on track. so anyways should i get another fill so i feel more restrictive when i eat?

Hello,

I had my second fill 1/30 and I feel some restriction. I lost 10lbs in January, but I don't think it had anything to do with the band, I was hungry.

But since the 30th I feel it and I have been eating 800-1000 calories as well and working out 30 minutes a day. I haven't lost a single ounce! I found it interesting that you started losing when you ate more calories. What did you eat to help get it going?

i just changed up my diet. instead of eating the same thing everyday i ate a little more fat and somedays i ate more calories and somedays i eat the average. to be honest i cheated last week and had 1/2 cup of ice cream 2 days in a row and a few chips and dip for the superbowl. i have been getting a little caried away on the cheating but i still keep my calories around 1200 calories, i dont recommend cheating everyday but i think once in awhile it gives the body something different.

i am going to do better starting tomorrow because i didnt go through all of this to eat bad. the band has helped me so much, i eat less and i really pay attention to calories and i try to eat good. i havent really been paying attention to my Protein though. my hair is getting really thinner now so i need to focus on more protein. its hard to focus on protein and calories at the same time. i guess it just takes some adjusting.

i wish you luck just remember that what works for me may not work for you and i think that i must be lucky so far to even lose at all

You should go for a fill when a. you are hungry b. you aren't losing or c. you are eating too much. Typically 1/2 cup is good. Good luck.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
