hi paula!
just hang in there! i was noticing the appetite growing more and more. it def takes will power to stay on track. just make sure you pre-measure your food before you go to work for lunch. i carry a TBS with me so when i'm out i know what 2TBS of food is instead of guessing. i had my first fill on wed and man did i feel the restriction! i also started my period that night and man, did that not feel good! everything on this site about your menstrul cycle and a tight band is def true...i did liquids for two and a half days cuz nothing felt good. i am now 4 days out from my fill and eating normal foods.
you said you are 17 down from surgery, what is your total weight loss? are you working out?
good luck and keep me posted on your progress!!!
