How much fill do you have?



Recommended Posts

Well I now know what restriction is but unfortunately way too much. I have been disappointed with my progress and am really wishing for this tool to help. I am back in the gym and doing great there, but eating way too much and then also drinking on weekends. I realize that is an issue I need to deal with as restriction would not prevent the wasted calories of alcohol but I really want some help on the food side.

Anyway, my wife and I returned from a great Caribbean cruise on May 2 and I was able to get an appointment for this past Friday to get a fill. I told the doctor I really wanted to get aggressive and we added. He is a good doctor and is conservative. I was not totally confident the Water was going down well during the fill but told him we were good. I have had the weekend from hell. Went out deep sea fishing with son on a head boat Saturday, I barely got down 20oz of water. All day yesterday I take 1 ounce in and 3 come out. I go today at 3PM for adjustment.

Bottom line is that this is defiantly a learning experience for me. I now have an unbelievable appreciation in the ability to hydrate yourself. I also have a new respect for this implanted devise and look forward to a new partnership.

Wow, that diet is quite a task. My surgeon tells me to have liquid diet for 2 days after then soft foods for a day or so then back to what the nutritionist recommends. If you can follow this diet and exercise I would think the weight will melt off.

I went to doctor a week ago and had a little removed as the previous fill stopped me from drinking. I still have too much as it is very difficult to get food down before the evening but I am going to try and stick with being tight for a while longer and see if it gets better. I really need a good jump start. Good luck with your fill
