Frustrated!!! Argh!
Hi guys,
I am so frustrated. I am 2.5 weeks post op. I am back on mostly regular foods with the exception of some foods. Haven't tried lettuce or anything besides ground meat with the exception of a piece of chicken I had on my bday.
Well I had lost 23 lbs. That includes the weight I lost on the liver shrinking diet the week before surgery (12.5). I was stuck at 23 lbs for about a week and then in the last couple of days I have gained 3 lbs. Is it normal to gain a couple of lbs when you go back to eating regular food? I felt restriction until about a week ago and now I am starving. I am sure that is because the swelling is going down but it doesn't make it any easier when I am so hungry I could eat a horse.
I keep telling myself not to be so hard on myself. That is has been less than a month and I am down 20 lbs. I would have never been able to do that before but I would just like to see those 3 lbs I regained go away!
I am supposed to get a fill 1/14. Hopefully this will help. Does the 1st fill usually give you restriction again? If so, does it last for a while?
Sorry for all the questions I am a newbie and frustrated, scared, worried...you name it.
Any answers and words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated.
