Im envious of all those who have had 2 fills already. I just got my first fill today (3cc) and Im hoping to see some weight loss. I haven't lost nearly a pound for weeks now. I was totally able to eat whatever I wanted and in any amount I wanted. I hope the fill will change all of that. My dr put me on 2 weeks of Fluid only again. So I'm sure this will have an impact on my weight loss.

goodluck everyone

Wow, two weeks of fluids only? That's harsh! It will definitely have an impact on your weight loss, though! Good luck and keep your chin up! :) All doctors are different.

It's been two months since surgery, just wanted to know how everyone is doing. I know most of us are in bandster hell right now, so when are y'all getting your second fill ?

I have been doing my best for two weeks now and it really did pay off. I have lost 40 lbs in two months. I lost 13 lbs in the last two weeks , but I worked my butt off for it. I have a wedding on the 9th of August and I will be seeing most of my classmates that I haven't seen since May. I want to turn heads you know...lol. I have goals of another 10 lbs by then. I am not relying on the band right now, I am relying on myself.

Wow you're doing great. I have not had a fill yet. My doctor doesn't want to give me one because my weight is steady dropping. I went in yesterday and had lost 3lbs in 2 weeks. Before that I lot 4 lbs in a month. He said I just need to keep going what I'm doing. But I'm scared to death that I'm gonna gain a pound.

I just had my first fill on Thurs. I didn't get one on my visit at 6 wks. post op either because I was losing about 2 lbs a week. But for the last couple of weeks I have found myself hungry and have grazed a couple of times--unplanned Snacks which is dangerous for me as the floodgates can easily open. I made an appointment with my doctor for a fill and he agreed that it was time. It has helped tremendously--Hunger gone. I need all the help I can get. This is a long journey.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
