1st fill

I had surgery on 9/11, my first fill on 10/26. I really don't feel any more restricted than I did before. Is this common? I am losing very slowly. I try to eat small portions, but some days I never get full. Trace

hey trace...just had my surgery 3 weeks ago today. i understand what you mean about feeling hungry. it is my understanding that after about 5 to 6 months that feeling is not as bad. dont get down about the amount of weight that your losing, remember you dont have a massive amount of weight loss until you are out a full year, so keep your head up.im still at the point where i cannot get anything more than soup, jello , applesauce, popsicles, and all that blah stuff in my pouch. i tried to eat mac and cheese last night cause i felt so hungry....never again, i was so sick, throwing up and pains in my stomach all night. just keep the faith, it took us a long time to put the weight on, this is sort of the same thing. peace and love, colen

Trace My surgery was 9-19. As long as I get my protein and water in I do fine, most of the time. I can not eat some things that I did before, like scrambled eggs. I too am loosing slowly, but it took me a long time to put the weight on. Exercise is another key. I know I always could get more than I get. Keep up the faith in yourself. You'll do fine. It is normal. I don't know about you, but if I overeat I get sick. Hang in there, they keep telling me it will get better and that right now at the point we are at, it where we are trying to get used to real food again and there will be adjustments. I have not been getting hungry, so I can't answer that part. Peg M
