Debbie, I have recently gone for my 3rd fill, and had ot lost any weight, very depressed about that, but, one thing you must remember, until you find the "sweet spot" You might not loose any weight. It takes time. Water has helped me with constipation. Make sure you are drinking all 64 oz. I find I drink more when I have bottles (16 or 20 oz) I usually have 24 before lunch. Hope that helps. YOU CAN DO IT!

Check with your doctor about the constipation. There are many products both over the counter and Rx that will help. (Increasing fiber is a good idea too!) If you're constipated, its possible that that is causing excess weight? Also, if you just got a fill a couple days ago, I wouldn't worry too much. Weight fluctuates for a lot of reasons, hormones, hydration, time of day, etc. Best wishes.

Aloha Debbie! As others have suggested, make sure you're getting enough water. Tea sometimes is a good starter for constipation. I would try to avoid taking anything, especially after a fill. The weight is probably the constipation with things backing up. :) Also, if you're not exercising start walking. If you are, kick it up a notch to help get you going! Good luck.
