Today is 3 weeks since I had the Lap band operation. I didn't have a good day

I was taking some medicine, 2 tablets that I broke in half but after taking them I felt like I had to throw up and following that I had a stomach ache.

I ended up taking 2 hours off from work and was feeling terrible.

For dinner I decided to have a soup (yes back to liquid for 1 meal) and that fixed EVERYTHING! I feel so much better. So weird because I ate lunch and had a snack after the medicine.

But ok I'm still learning. I need to break medicine into 4 pieces, need to eat more slowly and eat less. Those are the 3 things I need to figure out. I thought I was doing a good job but guess not.

I lost 0.5 kg this week or 1.1 pound. I like pounds more than kg because the pound number is always higher haha. I'm actually not expecting to loose more kg until I get the fill and can start to exercise for real.

Yes I know the fill doesn't do the job but I'm eating more than a cup a meal like you should do after the fill. I want to get to the point where I only have to eat 3 meals a day and only 1 cup at a time. I know it will take time, I'm not unrealistic but I'm working towards that goal. I know they take the first year to figure out the correct fill.

And I never in my entire life thought I would be excited to exercise! But now I can't wait, so weird. But I have a feeling that with my much better diet and exercise, I will get the weight down.

I really appreciate this forum here, it has been such a great help and lots of different opinions and stories from people. I wish I had known about this site before the surgery, I could have learn so much from it
