One Month Post-Op Appt - So Far So Good

[cjett 0]

Just had my one month post-op appt and everything is great. I went in there not wanting a fill since everything has been going great but was prepared just in case he did want to do a fill. He agreed that we shouldn't change anything if everything is working right and I have another appt next month to evaluate again. Also, cleared me for all physical activity. Originally he had told me to wait 2 months to lift weights, etc. but since he said I seem to be a very fast healer I could go ahead and work out as much as I want.

Yeah 26 lbs down in first month (I was never on a liquid diet beforehand). My goal for next month is 15 lbs which may be too ambitious but gives me something to shoot for.

Good luck everyone.

Thanks for the support.

The last month I have not had a set cardio schedule but in general have just tried to mix it up since I will start getting bored otherwise. Doing 5-6 days of cardio a week. 2 of those days I try and do a full hour usually splitting up between 30 min elliptical and 30 min treadmill. Other days I try to do at least 40 minutes cardio but split it up into smaller increments (ex 10 min rowing, 10 min bike, etc).

As far as eating I just try to be sensible and always remember Protein first. For example last night for dinner had boneless chicken thigh, spoonful of potatoes and small amount of green breans. Today for lunch had Garbanzo (mediterranean fast food) had serving of their chicken and just a little rice. The other great thing is there is always plenty of leftovers whenever you eat out.

That's great! I was banded on 6/30 and I have lost exactly 30lbs. (I did lose some pre-op). I go next week for my first fill and I am so ready! I feel NO restriction so I'm ready for it!
