Stuck & discouraged
Hi Becca! So you got stuck too, eh? Glad to know I'm not the only one. I sure would like to lose another 20 to 25 in the next 3 weeks. Is that possible?
I'm not so much discouraged anymore as I am excited & I want it NOW!!!!! LOL! Oi...some people, eh? hehehe
Thanks for the words of wisdom & the support. When do you get your first fill? I get mine the 1st week in Sept. Can hardly wait.
I would love to lose 50 pounds by my birthday, but not thinking that will happen...I can dream though, lol.
I am not sure when I will be getting my first fill. My post op follow up is tomorrow (I wanted to schedule the appointment so I can see Melinda in the hospital)...I will find out about my fill then.
For now, I guess we will have to keep an eye on calories and portion control. Can't wait to get a fill!
BECCA

Hi Cleo,
Considering you are newly banded. I would say that you need an adjustment to your band. I know that some doctors require you to wait at least six weeks before your first fill so that all the swelling can go down. Just stay focused and monitor your caloric intake. I found that I was getting a lot of negative calories from liquids (fruit drinks) and snacks. Good luck and keep us updated.
