Get another fill so close to goal?



Recommended Posts

I've been at a plateau only losing about 1/2 pound every two weeks. For awhile, I haven't felt like I had much restriction. I made an appointment to discuss a fill for 6/1, but the doctor had to wax his surfboard in Maui, so it got put off till 6/29. Suddenly I have started to lose again, and I feel like I again have a good amount of restriction. I guess, I'll just go the visit, enjoy the praise and take their recommendation. My Goal, which is now about 10 pounds away is a preliminary goal, where I remember looking good. Once I get there, I may decide to set a new goal that would be a BMI of 24, which is the top end of healthy. Anyone else got a fill close to goal?

I just got a fill about a week ago and i was about 16 lbs from my goal weight that i set for myself before I got banded. Last month I gained 2 lbs and didnt feel like I had a great restriction. My fill has been great for me and I am back on track with losing weight. i think I am about 10 lbs from my goal now but have since changed my final goal to about 35 more lbs off. I am hitting my one year banded 7/23 and I'm worried because after 1 yr. my insuren. stops paying for my monthly apt. without prior notice from my family doctor. Good luck with making it to your goal

I didn't think of the insurance issue, I'll keep that in mind when the year comes around.

Bill, i have been asking my self the same question should I get a fill. I am almost at goal but I am getting hungry every 3 hours. I am trying to hold out to see if adding maintenance calories will help. I do work out a lot and that could be the reason for the hunger. I am trying to give it another 3 weeks to see what I feel like at goal. If adding calories does not work I will get one. ( I have only had 2 fills in total) Good luck and congrats on your success!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
