5 Weeks Post Op

[shap 24]

Well I am 5 weeks post op and I have lost 25lbs total so far and I am very pleased up to this point. It has been the easiest 25lbs I have ever lost. I am wearing pants that are 2 sizes smaller and some of my shirts and my scrubs from work are swimming on me which is a nice feeling. I was supposed to have a fill my first 1 this Friday but its my bday so I postponed it for a week. I am looking forward to my 1st fill because since I have been back at work and i don't get lunch the same time every day I'm looking for the fill to take the edge off cause sometimes it can be awhile between meal times.

I don't want to be a downer. It took me 6 months of fills to get restriction so your first fill may not help with hunger between meals.

Ironically, I'm 6 weeks out this Friday. My first fill is this Thursday which is my birthday. I contemplated rescheduling it for next week but decided to not to. I'm thinking of it as my gift to myself. I don't want to make any more excuses to go out for a birthday dinner and order one of my favorite meals, Mac&Cheese with Lobster before I'm restricted. I've made too many excuses in the past. Happy Birthday to you Shap
