First post op visit

[runt71 70]

On my way to my first visit.... Feeling like this has been useless. I read where people have lost 15-30 pounds by now.... I think I lost 12. Found out my scales are broke. A can weigh 198 and 206 within 30 seconds of each other!!! Ugh. Just not a skippy day. And I want a cigarette!!! Yes still smoke free 6 days.

I lost 9 on my first visit. my Dr thought that was great! I was a little discouraged, but felt better after talking to him and getting a fill.

Sounds like you are doing good even with no fill and a broken scale. It can get a little discouraging at first, but as time goes on it gets better. I started out fast and am down to about 1 pound per week. I get a fill every 6 to 8 weeks with my last fill being only .5cc, but am filled well this time. 7 months post surgery and down 70 pounds. Keep up the good work and it does get better.

Thanks for the encouragement. Think I was having a hissy fit moment. I have lost 12 pounds which they think is wonderful. I'm not impressed. They did tell me to up my Protein as that im not eating enough. Started in mushers tonite. 5 bites if chicken I was done. That was at 6. Still not hungry but, I feel like I can't get enough to drink! Prob from heat and humidity here.

Today was my 1 week checking post op. I was kinda down thinking what am I doing. Im not lossing enough. So the doctor tells me you lost 28 pounds and my first response was is that good because that sounds low to me. He said you are doing great keep up the good work. And at your 4 week check in you will get your first fill. So I understand how you feeling regarding not thinking your on track.
