How does your weight on the day of surgery compare to your weight on the day of your first fill? More? Less? The same?

I'd have to go back to my blog to be sure, but I think I lost about 40 lbs between surgery & my first fill 5 weeks later.

My first fill is scheduled for June 23rd and I'm down 25 lbs since my surgery date of May 9th.

I lost roughly 19-20 lbs. between surgery and my first fill.

I lost 29 pounds between surgery and my first fill which was six weeks after surgery.

I had surgery on April 17th 2006 and I have lost about 20lbs.

had first fill yesterday.

I was 240 prior to surgery and weigh in at pre-ops at 235lbs. I have not had a fill yet and I don't know when I will get one but as of now, I've lost 41lbs from surgery date to now.

04/11/2006 till now 41lbs, no fill, 7 weeks out

I lost almost as much prior to my first fill at 6 weeks as I have in the four months since.

9 weeks out. No fill. -47

4 weeks post op -24 lbs.

I think I lost around 6-8 lbs before my first fill. Most of that in the 2 weeks on liquids/full liquids.

8 weeks out with no fill - down 30 pounds.

See you people... that had restriction without a fill and lost weight are sooooo lucky! I know that some of you are "RULE FOLLOWERS" (no meaness intended) but it's 100% easier to follow the rules with restriction.

When you go that first 6 weeks with no restriction what so ever like I did it was like rubbing salt in a $17,000 dollar wound.

Now I finally understand.... and feel good with the rules and my eating life style but man it was sooo hard that first 6 weeks. I'm so jealous of you people that lost.

Where are you rule followers... Yep... I'm looking for ya!

I'll admit it. I'm a hardcore rule follower. When I set my mind to something there is no other option. I've been called a pitbull a time or two in my life

Well I was a hardcore rule follower in that period but am not now. The difference shows, lol. I was simply way too afraid to break the rules.

But I had a marked lack of appetite, it wasnt difficult at all to stick with the rules. It lasted about 5 weeks for me, and then I only had a week to get through till my first fill.
