[1GirlNamedTiff 0]

Okay so i am exactly 1 month post op today!!! I am down almost 17 lbs see ticker for exact! Also i had my very first fill today...did not expect to be back on liquids for two day:mad2: but oh well i am so proud of myself and happy to finally get a little restriction running on pure will power for two weeks was wearing me DOWN!:thumbup:

I do have a question is it common to be on liquids for 48 hours after a fill? I had no preop diet and just thick liquids for three weeks post op. Just Curious!

Here we go! :thumbup:

Yes it's common. Apparently you haven't had time to read these boards much. After each fill most surgeons restrict your diet for a few days.

I think it varies a lot her in the states, some people do preop diets, some don't, and when you get a fill is all over the place. Thanks for your input!

Hi Onetiffany!! :smile: Congrats on getting your first fill!! How did it go? Did it hurt? I am going CRAZY!!! I get my first one on Oct 16th and CANT WAIT! What is your average weight loss per week?? My weight loss has slowed SO much and its starting to bum me out :cool2: !

Hey Yayforme, Haven't heard from you in awhile.

The fill didn't hurt any more than getting a blood draw. Mine has varied greatly - week 1 was like 8 lbs, week 2 was 4 lbs, and week 3 i refused to weigh myself since i started solid foods and couldn't handle the diappointment and week 4 was 4.6 lbs.

Technically you are ahead of me darling just keep going you can do this!!!! remember protien first then veggie. And once you get a fill i am sure it will be alot easier, i am so happy i got a fill today and Dr. Soong even did the fill not a PA and he walked me through it step by step no problems.
