5 days to go before my first fill, Yikes! Can I wait that long?

Ok. So the first month was not such a breeze as I expected?

What did I expect? I wanted to be down 20lbs, perhaps one size? Instead after the scale kept jumping around, initially losing 15 lbs then regaining 4 after I started to exercise and now down again by 2 pounds leaving me at a net loss of 13. But I'm down so this is good.

My Dr. told me that the two weeks before your first fill was the hardest because you have the band but no restriction and can eat solid food again. So why don't we fill that sucker up now instead of waiting?Patience is not my best quality. So I will continue to watch my calories, walk everyday to help clear my mind of all uncertainies and stoke up my metabolism.

I'm trying to stay at 1200 calories but most of the time hit 1500 a day and 80 grams of protein.

Keep me in your thoughts as I work through the last 5 days of my pre-fill journey.

I just had my first post-op visit. I'm on mushies. I've lost 12 pounds. That's awesome, to me... considering I hadn't lost anything in an entire year! I am so afraid I'm going to screw up between now and Aug 5 when I go back. That is SUCH a long time.

Hey Bama-

Great work. Hope the next weeks go by quickly for you while you wait for your August appointment. Keep posted how you're doing.
