I am 7 weeks post-op and just received my 2nd fill. A little nervous when it was time to get on the scale. In In the past I would be ashamed of how much I had gained. Today I was nervous of how much I had lost. My appt. went well today bp 115/75 and I was down 8 pounds. I was told to try to get at least 30mins of exercise a day. NP says it can be 30 mins, (2) 15 mins, or (3) 10 mins. I have a 10cc band.....1st fill was 2cc and today she added another 1.5cc making that a total of 3.5 cc in my band. How do you handle the doubting that you chose the right surgery? Oh yeah she told me to eat more im averaging about 500-600 daily, she wants me around 1000. Before my fill for the last two days I was having a slight headache and eating more than usual. My NP says that those where small signs that I needed a fill. Now onto losing more weight and praying for NO stalls along the way. Loving my band and my new life!!!

Why spend time doubting or getting worked up over past decisions. You're banded now, make it work for you. Don't compare your journey to others who may have a different WLS. Sometimes it seems like on Bariatric Pal the sleevers and Bypass folks are all successful and skinny. There are many on both of those boards who are struggling and questioning their own decisions. You've lost 43 lbs and that's something to crow about

You are on the right track . Keep up the good work and eat.. You loss weight by eating not starving . Follow doctors plan and enjoy the new you..
