OMG..I have lost 11 lbs since my fill the 12.23..Woohoo



Recommended Posts

Now I really know that part of my slow weight loss is because I had not had a fill from August -December. I could not get in for months and then when I did get my December appointment my surgeon went on about how I HAD to make sure I was here every 4-5 weeks for a fill. I explained that he was booked up since the October and I could not gt in until December... So, I don't have an appointment for another week but I'm calling in the am to make a 5 week appointment early so I don't have to wait 6-7 weeks or longer.

But...I'm estatic about my 11 pounds.....I'm back on track adn feeling great. I'm not going to be where I wanted to be next month but I'm hoping I will make my first goal by July.

I also ordered Jillian Michaels 30 day Shred from Overstock.com and they sent the wrong DVD...so I have to wait for a replacement.

Thank you all for listening,

Bren

That's awesome. I'm finally giving in and getting a fill next week. I'm stubborn. I like to be able to eat meals without pbing but my loss has slowed down a lot so I need to do something. I have a fear of getting overfilled because so many people's complication stories begin with having been overfilled or getting stuck. So I tend to put off getting a fill because of that.

Whoo hoo!! That's great Bren.

Here's hoping I wil have the same experience as I too waited a LONG time for my fill (and paid the price!). Things have been tight (but not too tight) since my fill last Wed, so I am hopeful that the weight will once again start to come off.

I think it's a combination of eating too fast and some not chewing well. I have two toddlers and even though I'm better about slowing down when I eat and chewing alot, I tend to hurry a bit too much. I'm alot better and have made a point to slow down.

That's fantastic! Yay for you! I too have the problem with eating too fast and not chewing well enough. I know I need a fill but I can't even begin to face one with all the pain and grossness I have about once a week from my inability to eat the way I should. I seem to have a very long learning curve.

      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. 🤞
