5 Weeks Post-Op

[melpink1818 0]

I had my surgery on March 31, 2011 and have lost 21 lbs. I am a little discouraged because after I have healed for the most part I have not lost any more weight since going on soft foods. I have not had a fill yet I get that at my 6 weeks check up. Is any one else going thru the same thing or are my expectations set to high!

21 1lbs in a month is wonderful - Celebrate that - I just made the decision last week to finally have the surgery on June 9th .I will be thrilled to have lost 21 lbs after a month

Be kind to your self - it's a long journey

That's awesome!! You should be down almost a dress size now LOL!! Just remember, if you lose it to fast its going to be tough to keep toned and you'll end up with the saggy skin. I should have my surgery sometime toward the end of the month, I hope! Just be a little patient and trust in yourself, family and friends for support!! Best of luck and keep up the good work!

I was thinking the same thing- 20 pounds in 1 month is awesome! Next time you go into the supermarket pick up 2 10 lb bags of potatoes- that's how much you have lost!

Also, from my understanding, it can take a while to get the fills exactly right.

Good luck !!!!
