Typical day 7 weeks post

[irishgirl520 1]

Just curious as to what your daily diet looks like. I'm 7 weeks post and I pretty much have no restrictions. Also I haven't had a fill yet so I lost 17lbs so far but nothing these past few weeks. I'm hoping after my fill the weight starts to come off again. I still have 50 more to go. Thanks

I pretty much eat whatever I want, just in much smaller quantities now. Of course I want chocolate and chips but those are not on the healthy food list.

Looking back on when I was first banded, I lost 12 lbs the first 2 weeks and then nothing for the next 3.5 months. After my 3rd fill I finally had enough restriction to feel less hungry. Up to this point(4 months out), I ate as healthy as I could so I didn't gain more weight.

You're doing fantastic so far, just keep eating healthy and go for a fill as soon as you can. I too felt like I could eat anything and had no restriction till that 3rd fill. It will come.

It took me 4 fills to get to the green zone, but I had still lost weight steadily. Since I could'nt eat large amounts after being banded, (but was still no where near the green zone)by just sticking to mostly Protein, fruits and veggies and exercising, I was still living healthier than I was pre band. I lost 1/2 lb to 1.5 lbs weekly, but I realize thats not normal for everybody. Your body will get there eventually, just follow the Dr.s rules. Good luck !!
