  5. Three weeks post op

    · bsandz08 · 06/23/2009 02:12

    So tomorrow will be three weeks..im feeling very normal..i can eat a lot not as much as i could pre op but more than im supposed to...i think i need a fill i just dont want to feel too restricted..should i call my doctor or should i just wait a while?????????????????????????:crying:
  6. so b4 all of u ..go wtf is this woman crazy...hear me out.. before i had this surgery i didnt realize that i had an addiction to food. The day i came homed from the hospital was the day reality set in. as i sit and watch my family eat dominos i cant help but to take a bite..then another then another..no im 1 week post op(-9lbs) eating turkey sandwhices drinking soda...doing everything all wrong.. i made an appointment to see my psychologist on monday.. i talked to my surgeon about taking it out..he said wait..im like by then the band could be obsturcted. this really is a life change its not magic.. and i made the decision so fast i didnt weigh the con's only the pro's. So the moral of the story is i made up my mind i want the band removed:frown:. My next Blog will be my last one...Thanks 4 All The Support LBT!!!:thumbup:
