First Post Op Appointment Since Being Banded 9/11

[goingfoit 125]

I have my post op appointment this morning at 8 am. I'll be glad once I talk to the surgeon and get more of an idea on what to expect with this port. it's weird throughout the day it feels like the port is more hidden but on the morning it s more pronounced feels like it's protruding.

My appointment went very well I lost 6 pounds that wk making my total weightloss 15 lbs.dr was very happy with my progress and said as long as I continue to lose there is no need for a fill right now. I go back on 10/9 for another checkup and possibly a fill.

Its HUGE adjustment the surgery fixes our stomach but not our mind. I'm not prefect but I try my best everyday. There are days where I'm not hungry at all and then there are days that I'm starving. Try to stay away from high calorie high fat food foods. I still have my reg coffee with either skim milk or reg cream, or a slice of pizza that I chew very well no crust. Its all about choices and how bad you want to lose this weight once and for all. My dr said he would give me a fill at 3 weeks if I want and I'm not losing.however I'm still listing down a total 24 lbs. I'm pleased with that and still have approx 53lbs to go
