11 Days Post Op

Wow! Woke up this morning with so much energy. Had my post op appt yesterday and to date have lost 18 pounds. I feel fabulous!

My first fill (under fluoro) is scheduled for the 22nd and am kind of looking forward to it. I've had absolutely no issues and am so pleased with my decision to do this. My clothes are fitting better and I actually see a little difference. I'm just so excited!

My Dr. said I should lose another 20 pounds by the end of summer which is pretty slow, but I'm okay with that. In my head, as he said that, I'm thinking....omg when I lose 20 more pounds I will weight what I did in college....holy cow!!!!!!!

    i had my surgery on feb 9th and headed for my first fill on march 22nd as well... so far about 22 pounds down.. but with no restriction this feels suspiciously like any other restrictive diet i've ever white knuckled in the past. im really hoping that fill does something to make me feel fuller.. right now anything will go down including a flying pig and a fat cat. i hear about people having trouble swallowing siliva ! I'd be happy to not be able to eat bread!!!
