Ready for a fill

[AmyR 38]

March 24 will be 3 weeks post-op and I am ready for a fill. Not scheduled until April 14. Once the swelling goes down and everything heals up from the surgery, the appetite comes back and maintaining portion sizes is a lot harder. Plus I am tempted again by non-healthy choices.

I was scheduled to start solid food tomorrow, but mush wasn't cutting it, so I started a little solid food over the weekend. So far everything is going down just fine. How is everyone else doing?

Hi Amy. I am 17 days post op and right there with you. My first fill is scheduled for April 19; later than both the doctor and I'd prefer, but but out of town prior and he didn't want to do it too early. Once the swelling went down, I too, experienced the return of my appetite. I'm trying very hard (and succeeding) with my food choices, but I feel like I'm eating too much and/or too often. Since surgery, I've lost 9 pounds, but I feel like this week has been a big stall.

Any suggestions to get past the initial post-op stall?

Best of luck to everyone!
