Two months until my first fill post-op? Strange or normal? Strange I think

Hi, I'm 3 weeks post op. I've no restriction which scares me coz if I'm let loose I cud do damage and put on the weight I've lost so far (around 14lbs). I've been told by my co-ordinator that my first fill won't be till after Xmas. By then I'll be able to chow done oodles of food and that terrifies me. They claim they tend not to fill before Xmas to allow for possible Xmas related indulgences. Is or has anyone else experienced this? I'm considering requesting one seeing as I've paid for fills? Some feedback on this wud be great, thanks

Eight weeks is not too uncommon I don't think from what I have read. It doesn't hurt to request it and see what happens. food related gatherings are something that is going to be a challeng no matter what (at least for me) temptation is high and it's easy to rationalize it. BE STRONG! YOU can do it!

Good news, I got a call today from my co-ordinator and my fill is 4th January, I'm so excited! I'm gonna be like fill it as much as is possible!! I will need to make up for the Xmas period big time! On the other hand I'm back to the gym on Monday so that shud surely help with keeping things under control for now. Thanks for your encouraging words tho, every bit of positive feedback helps no doubt :-)
