1st fill loss to 2nd fill?



Recommended Posts

Hello September Samurai's!!

Well, I received my first fill (remember my "1st fill fiasco friday for me"?) It's almost time for my second fill and I am quite nervous. I also would like to know how much y'all have lost between your first and 2nd fill. I have only lost between 4-7 pounds it fluctuates daily with me. I know that it is better than losing but its driving me crazy.

I'm right there with you. I lost 3 pounds between my first fill and 2nd fill. I would fluctuate the same 3 pounds for 4 weeks. I just got my 2nd fill this past Tuesday. We shall see how this one goes.

I hope that you have better luck with your 2nd fill.

I just got my first fill last week. I was wondering how soon before I can get my 2nd fill. I am not feeling a restriction and I am really concerned. I have lost 9 lbs so far but I have been at the same weight for 7 weeks now... I'm wondering If I should have gone with the other surgery...

I am so glad I read your post. I am doing FANTASTIC but I too fluctuate. I have started skipping the scale every day. Right now I am at a standstill. It happened 10 pounds ago, I was stuck and then dropped 10 pounds in two weeks. Now I have been at my current weight, and yes I can say it now, 222 for a week. But I dropped more inches, in my boobs mostly :) But I have lost 9 inches in my butt in total. Now that is worth celebrating :)

Good luck on your second fill. You will do great! Debbie

Thank you for that. I feel so much better knowing that I wasn't supposed to lose too much between fills. I just don't want the doctor to say I have lost enough and not give me another fill. I go in at 3pm today and I am a little anxious. Just drinking liquids till then.

Teri, my fills are 6 weeks and will be forever. I have heard sometimes it takes up to 4 weeks to really feel the fill. I don't understand that but its what they told me. 6 weeks is fine with me 4 would be better but I know I need one because I am in bandster hell.

I can get them every two weeks. Right now that seems to be where I am. I go back again December 3rd for my next. I'm still not feeling a lot, unless I try to eat to fast. I'm even able to eat bread, as long as I chew it well.

I had my first fill Nov. 12th I di d not feel much difference with taht fill. I go back on Jan. 7th the holiday messed up my next fill, I was to go on Dec. 23. I am aloud to go every 6 weeks. I too have stopped weighing myself. I am losing inches, I have gone from a 18/20 to a 14 (most of the time). I happy with that, the weight will come off. I got a Wii for Christmas now waiting for the Wii Fit to become availble. Once I can get my 2 teen-age boys off the Wii I will give it a try.

Good luck to everyone in 2009.

I too have been with the same three pounds since my first fill on 12/11 but I got an XL sweatshirt for Christmas and IT FIT! That made the pesky non-moving scale look a little better.

I stayed the same from fill #1 to fill #2. I thought I would have lost about 3 but I stayed the same. I think I was bloated...PMS. But like someone else said I keep going up n down the same 3 pounds....I'm waiting for a drop. I just keep taking it one meal at a time....and I know it will happen. I'm at the low end of the loss column but I keep thinkin 'bout the bigger picture....this is a lifelong change that I am making.

I am right there with you. I try to keep focused on the fact that this is supposed to be slow, but it is very frustrating.:tt2: I had fill #3 on 12/19. I lost 4 pounds the week of the fill (only because I was on liquids) and nothing since:angry:. That is how it keeps happening. I lose the week of the fill and then fluctuate the same 3 or 4 pounds up and down. My doctor wants at least 2 weeks between fills. I called at the end of the 2 weeks to schedule a fill and it will end up being 4 weeks by the time I get the next one. I would like to feel good restriction at least once. :mad:

      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.
