Frustrated - Time to Vent

Posted Yesterday at 08:55 AM by BarbaraWM

Current Mood: The title says it all

Here I am 12 days post op, having made bets on how much weight I would lose by the time of my first post op doctor visit, and I'm stalled.... already!

Ok, I get that the first 5 pounds just dropped off from being on liquids for a couple of days, then the next 5-6 were probably from this very low calorie soft food diet and not being able to eat much as a result of swelling. Now, however, the swelling is down and I don't feel...

2nd Fill 13th November 2009

Posted Yesterday at 07:09 AM by dewberry

Went for my second Fill last week Down another couple of Kilo's that makes 19.9KG I'm very happy with that I think I am nearly at my sweet spot, I'm not hungry between meals and I chew chew chew until I have nothing but mush to swallow so I can still eat anything I like .....I have'nt had any trouble so far and hopefully it will stay that way as I would still like to be able to eat all foods just in smaller portions.
Any way I hope everyone else is feeling great and as happy with the choice...

Who said fills don't hurt?

Posted 11-20-2009 at 10:30 PM by RedboneLA

I was not expecting my fill to hurt. Although it went smooth under x-ray, it felt like I got stabbed...

I don't look forward to my next one on the 4th but I won't stop now.
Any suggestions other than numbing the area?
Am I the only one who has experienced pain during a fill?
