First fill not until 3/24 and scared of gaining..m

[Connorsmom 1]

what I have lost so far (25lbs)!! Since the doctor has given me the go ahead to try anything I have been doing just that - mind you I cannot eat as much as pre-surgery but I had 2 chocolate chip Cookies yesterday and a brownie bite - it tasted awesome but I felt kinda yucky afterwards.

Any tips to keep this weight off or should I expect to gain a little back before first fill?

I think you should expect to gain back a little pre-fill. Prepare yourself for that possibility, because even if you watch every calorie religiously your body will probably gain a few bounce-back pounds no matter what. Losing 25 lbs in a few weeks is simply not natural, and now that you're back on solid food it would be surprising if your weight loss didn't stop and even reverse itself a little.

DON'T WORRY!!! You're not in a race and the whole idea here is to learn new eating habits you can live with for a lifetime. Can you survive the rest of your life never eating chocolate chip Cookies? I know I couldn't. You hit the nail on the head when you said you can't eat as much as you could pre-surgery. That's the key, and as long as you continue to eat less than you did before, you're doing great and you'll see results. Don't watch the scale daily if it's going to upset you!
