Oh man do I need help......

You guys have no idea. Lately I have had absolutely no restriction. Especially late in the day and at night. Mornings are fine. The other day I ordered an omellete and had about a quarter of it and I was fine. But now yesterday at night, I had a whole plate of food, and probably could've kept going had there been more. ARGHHH, it pisses me off, I am down now 20 lbs since 8-20 and I feel like I am gaining again. Everything otherwise feels great. No more port pain, nothing. Even my scars are practically disapearing by the day.

hey J.C.!!!

You guys have no idea. Lately I have had absolutely no restriction.

i feel ya! i was banded 8-18 and was eating about 2 cups of food and not getting the full feeling just having to stop. i got my first fill and still not that restricted. i eat about 1 1/2 cups now. i am going for 2nd fill 10-2.

i have been dealing with it by telling myself:

i am healing. take any weight loss as a bonus till i get filled!

your body just went through surgery and you need to heal! when will you be able to schedule your first fill?

Getting filled in two weeks, if weight loss stopped. We'll see.

looks like you better get some of that football food in while you still can!

GO TITANS!

JC, your weight loss is stellar and you just need a fill.

You may stall or actually (gasp) gain a couple of pounds before it happens. But please don't fret. The body actually likes thinking it's getting a bunch of calories again...sets you up for another nice drop after your fill.

Relax--you're normal and your tummy is almost completely healed now. I could eat pretty much preop about 2 weeks after my surgery and it stressed me out. I wished someone would have told me back then that I was NORMAL!

Shelly - thanks, I am trying not to though. chicken wings are still good though. You are going down, wait and see.

Coffeewench - thanks, feels good to get advice from you. I am starving though. I am just gonna live with it until I get the proper restriction.

i started at 325.

day of surgery was 318

Exactly 2 weeks post op i was 303

and when i went to dr 2 weeks ago i weighed 311

that gives me a post op loss of 9 pounds. i would gladly take your 20 lb loss!

actually i started at closer to 350 i dieted my butt of all summer to lose 20-25 before i ever saw the dr.
