Coming up to my 3rd week post op. I must say I was worried the first two days after cause I had lots of gas pain, but now 3 weeks out, I'm so glad I did this. Started eating real foods today and I went slow and chewed real well. I can pretty much eat anything but very small portions and I get full quickly. So far down 24.4 lbs since pro op diet and feeling great. Love reading all your post and find them so helpful. Had my post op appt and dr said I have 2cc in from surgery and won't do a fill till I see him in 4 weeks to see how I'm losing. If still losing well he will hold off on fill. I think I'm ok with that. I don't want to have too much restriction. I finding it hard to eat 1200 calories a day. Averaging around 900-1000 cal a day.
