  2. How can I continue to lose weight before my first fill. I had surgery on may 5th and have lose 10 pounds so far, mainly because of the liquid diet. I had my one week post op visit Tuesday and the PA told me that I may not lose anymore weight in the following weeks. That concerns me, that may discourage me. I will be on my Tread Mill and may start working some cardio. I don't want to over do it. I would like to hear from people who have continued to lose weight before their first fill to encourage me please help!!! I am still sticking to my post op diets to the T, don't want to gain any weight.
