First Fill

Had my first fill today. I was afraid the surgeon wouldn't do it since I was ahead on weight loss. He said he'd expect me to lose a pound every week to 10 days, and I lost 7 lbs since my two week post-op visit and today (9 lbs per my scale, sans clothes). He put in a full 3 cc's and I can completely feel it. He had me drink a cup of water before I left to make sure he wouldn't need to remove fluid. All was gravy until the drive home when I felt like the water was going to come back up. He said to start out slow though, liquids until tomorrow night, then puree, then back to soft. I'm going to seize this opportunity to get my diet completely in line with what they recommend. I didn't "cheat" per se, but I wasn't eating the healthiest options over the past five days.

 

My next fill is July 16th and he said if I'm down 4 pounds by then he would be ecstatic. My goal for the next month is to get down to 205. I'm doing a combo jog/run every day for at least 20 minutes and have been taking in around 80-100 ounces of water. Feeling great. So here I go onto my next little goal. 8 lbs in a month...I can SO do this!

Don"t be surprised if when you get ready to eat your first solids it feels a little different. It sometimes takes me a few days before I can work my self back up to the suggested amounts of protein. I can usually only do liquids for 48 hours and than progress back to solids. Everyone is different. Good luck on your goals, exericse early on is very helpful with the weight loss.

I had my first fill on June 7th, (surgery 5/10). Got 2 cc's and it is amazing how you do get full a lot quicker. I'm down 13 pounds all total, last week was rough, but back on track now. I've not had anything come up on me yet!
