Had My First Post-Op Appointment, Lost 28Lbs

[El_Cid 15]

I had my last pre-op appointment on 07/19/12 and I weighed in at 381. That's when I started my diet for the surgery. I had my surgery on 08/01/12 and just went to the doctor yesterday (08/14). I weighed in at 353. That's 28 lbs!. So 28 down, 122 lbs to go until I reach my goal of 230. I already went down two pant sizes. I'm supposed to have my 1st fill appointment in two weeks but if I continue this way, I might not need it. With the band the way it is, I'm eating 1 cup of food per meal. I'm excited.

Congratulations! I lost over 40 pounds from the start and I will see my doctor on Aug 21 (first post-surgery appt). Banded on Aug 6 and lost 12 pounds up to today.

We will do good!

Awesome! How is your dieting going? Well I guess I should call it your life changing. I am nervous I will not eat healthy enough! I think I need to write down meals I am going to make and what I eat to keep track. Are you exercising?

Cmarie, Your body will for sure let you know when you aren't eating right! Or at least mine does! and WATER! Lets not forget that!! Its a must!

I'm not really dieting, just eating a LOT less and I'm staying away from junk food. I was counting calories but my nutritionist told me yesterday that I should focus on portions instead of calories. I eat one cup of food total during meals. Sometimes I eat a Protein bar for lunch while at work. I always make sure at least half of my food is a Protein. I'm still trying to find the right formula, guess its different for everybody.

I forgot to ask if I was ok to exercise when I was at the doctor's so I will call them today to find out.
