3 months post op

Well it has now been 3 months post op and my total weight loss is 17kgs ((37.4lbs). I have had two fills over the last month which didn't make a dramatic difference - very suttle. I am averaging 500grms per week now which my specialists is very happy with. I can't stress enough to those who are considering this surgery that this is a tool, a very good tool if you stick to the rules. It most certainly is not a magic cure to anyones weight issues. I still have to be really careful as to what I choose to eat and still have to avoid those foods that are sooooo yummy but I know are not good for me!! I try as much as possible to stick to the 3 meals per day - sometimes I fail and sneak something in but I think this is a really important 'rule'. I also am excercising reguarly which I am sure is assisting my weight loss. Am I happy I have done it - absolutely yes as I see this as a long term solution and am committed to achieving a good healthy weight. It's so good to be in control and moving in the right direction to gain control and finally get this excess weight off. I have started having people ask if I have lost weight which is nice and I have definitely dropped several sizes in jeans. My clothes are just looking better on me rather than tight and clingy. :blushing:

I eat 4 to 6 times a day. I have 3 major meals w/snacks when I need them. If you jorunal it will help you stay on track and if your count your calories (I have only just started doing this and it's easy at www.myfitnesspal.com)

I love my tool! I'm glad that I had it put in!

Keep up the good work!
