cole&matt'smom 72 Posted February 27, 2013 I'm headed to my 6 wk post op appt & will get my first fill:) Thank goodness because I am sooo hungry all the time & can eat more than I could just 2 wks ago.

cole&matt'smom 72 Posted February 27, 2013 Well from your photo you already look awesome! How did u find post op recovery? Xx Thanks!!! I'm losing pounds really slow but I'm losing inches fast. I started back to the gym on my one month band anniversary so I feel like that explains the inches. I still struggle with letting go of bread but it is getting easier. I'm hoping things will speed up after this fill. Everything with recovery was really easy for me. I had very little pain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cole&matt'smom 72 Posted February 27, 2013 What do you consider slow? I was told by my surgeons nurse at my 2 wk post op visit that most ppl lose 10 lbs at that visit & I was only down 1 lb. I guess this has given me the idea that I am obviously behind their other patients:/ Maybe I have just let that comment bother me too much. I know I would have loved to have waken up from surgery skinny. Lol! But I didn't become overweight over one week so I'm not going to lose it in a week.

2muchfun 8,927 Posted February 27, 2013 Do you not have your own scale? It's been a month since you last weighed? Some here will say that's OK but I believe in tracking my weight every day. That way I know what foods and exercises effect my progress. Some find any setbacks a grave disappointment but I understand that the scale will go up and down and as long as it's down at the end of a month, I'm OK with that. Hope your first fill is the magic one. If not, keep eating right and buy a scale imo. tmf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also track my food & exercise faithfully. I haven't gained but would love to hit the -2 lb per week loss. I'm hoping with the exercise being incorporated & the fill then maybe I can get there. I do 1 hour of Zumba 3 days per week & just added Jillian Michael's 30 day shred this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cole&matt'smom 72 Posted February 28, 2013 I did get my first fill today:) The doctor is checking my thyroid levels again due to my levels being low in Dec. We are hoping the med adjustment in Dec. did the trick. The dr & nurse made me feel much better today. I had lost 5 lbs in 4 wks which puts me in the normal range. I'm going to keep tracking my food & exercising. Excited to see what tomorrow holds. Hoping for some much needed restriction:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
