Can't wait until my first fill!

By Butterfly10

· 461 views

It has been three weeks since my surgery and I was approved for soft foods last week. My problem is that my appetite is back with a vengance and I dont know how to control it.

 

I can eat pretty much aything I want without any negative side effects and that is very scary for me!

 

I dont want to gain any weight before my fill which is scheduled for June 9th.

 

Any suggestions on how to stick with "the program" until the fist fill? :)

    When i go in on Wednesday, I am going to let them know that I can eat like a horse without any adverse side effects. Hopefully they will adjust the band accordingly. I have gained almost 5 pounds back since surgery!! Damn!!

    Hello butterfly10. This is what I eat druning that time, a very solft baked potato with smart blance wipped butter very low calories. But a word of advice go slow. You do know want your band to slip out of place. Am a gourmet cook and I though I would never cook again, I was worng... As a cook I came up with some delicious foods and you will not fill like you are sacraficing taste. The lap band is only a tool, and with any tool, we have to learn how to use this tool. Excercising is a big key.

    CHECK OUT MY BLOG AM SURE IT WILL HELP.. I have many tips and recipes of the day. You will lose the weight with healthy choices. Let me know if my blog is helpful to you..

    Good luck!
