Fustrated!!

I am about 6 weeks post op and this morning i noticed that i GAINED 4 lbs!!:)

I have my 1st fill coming up at the end of the week. I have noticed that i am hungrier and can eat more. I am trying to stay away from bad food but still. Is this normal? will the fill help?? Maybe i should hide the scale and focus on how my clothes fit me. I am trying to walk as much as i can, taking the stairs, parking far away...all that.:mad2:

It is normal too feel like you can eat more at wk 6. The fill will definitely help. When you do get the fill be sure you chew everything really well...you won't be able to eat as much as you have been now that there will be fluid in the band so keep that in mind. Don't be discouraged yet..it's a life change that you still have to get used to. Don't focus so much on the scale and stay away from the foods you shouldn't be eating..you'll be very happy in the end if you eat the things you should. Remember eating and what you eat is a mental game. The band is a tool and it is what you make of it! Good Luck!
