Cant wait until my first fill

[LeslieR041906 1]

Ok Im stuck in limbo, with 311lbs at this point, and have been for a week. Although, I havent had the energy as I should to go to the gym every day, but I do make it to the gym at least 3 times a week. I dont do much when I go, maybe a mile on the treadmill. But, thats about it. My diet, is mixed with liquids, and for dinner, a healthy, mushy. But, I do notice, Im not getting as full as I once did about a week ago, Im 2 weeks and a day post op. And today I see the doc. I wonder if I can convince him to do my first fill today. LOL. I doubt that. Im hoping it wont be that bad cause right at the port area, I cant feel a thing. Its like my nerves were severed or something. Anyway, I just had to vent, I want to lose more. UGGH. I guess it will happen in time. :thumbup:

You have done great with your weight loss! I know it seems to go much slower down the scales than it did going up, but it does go down. I always say to myself you have lost more than 50 pounds because in the time you had your LB surgery you would have GAINED. I was gaining about 5-7 pounds a year!! Anyway, keep your thinking and willpower strong and look for the day when you will be at your goal! I know it will be worth it for us!!

You lost 22 pounds is a month or so?...that is fantastic! You don't want to interfere with healing and have slippage by getting a fill too soon. Many people gain weight at this stage so don't get too frustrated, you are doing great. :sad_smile:

Thanks guys! I just find myself, more hungry than normal. Uggh. Just like I was before the band. I mean, I do have a limit, but since the healing process is taking on, My tummy wants food. LOL. And I chew and chew, and still, Im trying to look for the part where I get full. Its not there anymore, it was about a week ago. Just anticipating the day it happens!!! Yay!
