5 weeks post op and 1 week to 1st fill...

So, all is well. Can't say I even notice I have a band right now. I feel hungry, but not too bad, think besides the band my stomach has shrunk and cannot even fathom eating the portions I previously devoured without thinking it unreasonable. No pain or discomfort. I've been traveling back and forth to NYC for work so have been eating out a lot and sort of maintaining/ SLOWLY losing...I'm down about 15 lbs since surgery and 31 total since pre-op diet and I feel like it's solid weight loss...lots of time I think the weightloss is very fragile and will come back without me noticing. I have to say that I feel so much lighter, better and healthier already. Have my first fill next Friday and am not nervous....am looking forward to kicking up the weighloss!! :thumbup:
