Now I know what it feels like to need a fill!

Hi everyone,

Not sure what happened this weekend but my what a difference. I had my 1 month post op last Friday and everything was perfectly fine. She told me that even though my first fill isn't until January 8th,if I feel the need to have the fill done sooner to call. Well not sure why or how this happened but by Saturday I noticed a big difference in my appetite and Sudnay ,I noticed I was looking for more food and I had hardly ANY restriction . I guess this is a major sign ,eh ?

I felt discouraged (again) when I stepped on the scale this morning and it went up a pound and a half and i'm SURE it's because of this weekend. UGH!

I am right there with you. I do not get my first fill until January 7th and i really do not have any restriction. Basically I am forcing myself to do it , that is the only way for me.

It is hard with the holidays approaching and all the emphasis being on food but we all need to stick together and do it together.

Don't get discouraged, keep your head up.

Good luck sweetie!

Thank you for your respone,Jenny! It really helps to have the encouragement!! I'm trying to stay postive,I have to remind myself that is is just a minor set back but I find that even when I gain a pound back,I freak out.

Yep, I am there too. This weekend I was hungry. I mean really hungry, so I had to keep myself distracted. My 4 week post op is 12/10/08, so I am to graduate to real food. The doctor will give me a fill before Christmas, but I would prefer to have it on 12/10/08.

I go throught the same thing with the sclae, I get obsessive. If I weigh my self , I will continue to do so and a jump of anything drives me nuts. Just remember your still healing and it is still very early. January is right around the corner.:wink_smile:
