I have my first 'fill' appointment this coming Monday, just over 6 weeks from my surgery date of 1st June 2017.
My starting weight was 149kg (328lbs). I lost 12kg (26.5lbs) during the 2 weeks pre surgery liquid diet, and in the 6 weeks since surgery I have lost 11kg (24lbs).
I have lost the weight through eating 1500 calories per day (tracked on myfitnesspal), and walking for 1 hour, 6 days per week. My diet is completely on point, hitting my carb, fat and protein macros each day.
So I have decided I'm going to go to the appointment, but I'm not going to get the band tightened...yet. I feel completely satisfied with the amount I'm eating, no hunger at all, and I haven't had anything get stuck yet so I feel I'm in a good place. Tonight for dinner was chicken breast, sweet potato and broccoli.
Of course if I fall off the wagon, the option to get it tightened is there.
Has anyone else decided not to get the band tightened initially?
