3 weeks post op

By hopee

· 351 views

So, I'm 3 weeks post op and have gained 3 pounds since I started eating real food (about 2 weeks ago). I still have 2 more weeks till I get my first fill. For the most part I'm making healthy choices & my portions are under control but from having only liquids to food I know it's expected to gain back a bit...It's just driving me crazy to see any gain after spending all this money...Why does it have to be 6 weeks for a fill after surgery??? I have zero restriction and REALLY want a fill today...Ahhhhhh.

Anyway, I've been reading many of the blogs and it's so nice to hear how others are doing and exciting to hear all the success stories...I'm looking forward to posting my success' soon.

    I am 1 wk. post op - and portion control is def. the key. I only eat 3/4 cup at mealtimes. It seems to satisfy. And then 1/2 hr. later I can always drink some crystal lite or something to fill in for the hunger if any. It seems to work. I was wondering how long I should wait for my first fill? It seems like 1 month post op huh? ;)
