Congrats ladies!!

Jaychelle, I have a question. When you say you don't have any restriction, what do you mean by that exactly? You just had surgery 3 1/2 weeks ago, so aren't you still on mushy foods? And if so, isn't it hard to over eat? I wouldn't think so soon after surgery you would even know if you get full because you can't eat much.

Anyone please let me know if I am wrong about the way I thought my first 3 weeks would be. Thanks for the info!

trace10.. What I mean by restriction is that I'm hungry just like before I got my surgery. No I'm not on mushy foods. I was on liquid for the first week and mushy for the second week, after that it was soft solids. At the moment I am able to eat anything that I put in my mouth. It might be different for you as every doctor is different. Some people will have restriction for longer than a week and some will not. I was hoping I was one to be restricted till my first fill but unfortunately not. I lost 10 pounds on the first week and a half, but after that, once the swelling went down I was hungry all the time. Now I just have to watch what I eat and for the most part I'm just maintaining my 10 pound lost.This is why I said that I can't wait for my first fill, I need restriction. I will not complain because I know my time will come and I'm just so happy that I had the surgery. I hope this help and good luck on your new journey:smile:
