I've had my third fill, and am really restricted now for sure LOL! I have had some "stuck" feelings, but haven't really pb'd, except to force myself once cause I just couldn't stand it. Otherwise, I'm finally down 44 pounds and am feeling better all the time!! Keep up the good work everyone!

I know, I need to get back on the ball. I'm afraid to get another fill because I feel pretty restricted already, so I need to do something. I have started exercising, so we'll see how that works out.

Thanks Jay! I did get my 4th feel on Tuesday and man I already fill quite a difference. I can already tell that I am tight...remarkable what 1 cc can do. I am now up to 6.4ccs...so we will see. I for sure have to take smaller sips now...we will see how the food goes down once I am off the 3 days of liquids.< /p>

I've only had 2 fills, but I'm at 1.75cc and I'm plenty restricted. Maybe too much, as I only eat about 900-1000 calories a day, and I burn off 500-600 of those at night. My weight loss was great right after the last fill on 1/17, but has now managed to slow, then stop. I defintely don't need another fill, but I may need to play with my calories and up them some.

I have my next fill scheduled for 2/13. I know I needed to do something. I lost then gained back the same 2 lbs, so now I've been at the same weight since the 2nd week in Jan.

I'm going to throw my scale out. I've gained and lost the same 2 pounds now for 2 weeks, and I know that I have been ultra-good :target:

I just ordered a Tanita scale. If it says the same thing, well - ok, but I hate getting on the scale and not seeing it budge from 258 when I am doing everything right. I'm so frustrated.

I really wanted to hit my first goal by my birthday next week, but that's not gonna happen. At least, not according to THIS scale.

I am the most thankful person ever!!!:puke: I am now officially 1/2 way to my goal. I would have never, ever lost this much weight on my own. It's amazing the changes that I've been going through...

Lapbandtalk has been a wonderful place for support. I am blessed.

Thanks, Shawn

      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.
