I can only advise to stick to the post-surgery diet. I am supposed to eat 3 meals (1/4 cup each), and one snack. Both before my fill two weeks ago and after, I could probably eat all day. they say it will take a bit to get to the "green zone " Perfect fil, not hungry and still losing. I have lost a total of 30 but an very frustrated because even after a very traumatic first fill, I feel as if I could eat forever.

I called my physician's office this morning and requested that they bump me up to the 7th of April, which is just over 4weeks but i am not feeling full at all and seem to be looking for food every 2 hours, not 3-4. They had no problem bringing me in but stated for me to stay at 2 ounces of food 3 times a day plus my one snack

Thanks. I have lost well but i think that has to do with being on Optifast for two weeks prior and then the protein only drink for one week and I have done very well though and I think mentally that is what keeps us going. I did not even hate Easter dinner. My devilled egg was wonderful and for the first time probably ever, I didn't feel guilty, like I had overeaten and how could I. You know all the bad feelings associated with enjoying a meal. this is still the best tool and thing that i could have done for myself ever.

How long would you say recovery lasts. I was banded at the same time and I really just started walking with a 2-mile tape this week as I had my gallbladder out also and felt awful last week.

Oh by the way. I also had surgery 3/7/08. Please remember you aren't even three weeks until tomorrow

My docs say you should really concentrate on protein. i think this will boost your metabolism . Low-fat yogurt, low fta cottage cheese, and low-fat peanut butter for a snack. I slowed down when they put me on food but it is still coming off.

No problems whatsoever. My timing would have been quicker but I had to wait for college to break. I am not unhappy at all. this has been the best thing I could have done. what a great tool for weight loss. My first postop was yesterday and I was down 15 from surgery date and 22 in all. yes. i was on OptiSource until yesterday. Can have cottage cheese, yogurt, peanut butter and eggs/egg substitute now. very happy :biggrin:

Hi there, New. Surgery was 3/7/08. today was my first post-op visit. All went well. I am even allowed to have some food now. Had cottage cheese and cannot believe how full I am. This was a hard decision for anyone to make but I do not regret it. Gg:thumbup:
