Hello everyone,

I had Lapland surgery February 10th, had my first fill March 16 (1.5cc), I was feeling restriction in the beginning but now I'm able to eat a little more and not feeling much of a restriction. I only eat about twice a day, but I'm worried I damaged my pouch during the post op care (ate solids a little too soon). I don't have pain, no vomiting or nausea. I only lost about 1-2 pounds since the last fill. One day I'm 210, the next I'm 211.5, then back to 210 and today I'm 209.5. It's driving me crazy. Am I over thinking this? I'm going in for a second fill next week.

I'm very new to all this (operation was on 31/3/17), but the advice I have had is that you should eat more than twice a day. I know that may seem odd as to how to lose weight, but eating smaller and oftener is better than two larger meals. Eating more often will keep you feeling fuller, therefore you won't eat so much as you probably do when only having the two meals.

Before I had the operation, I lost some 16 pounds by changing my habit of not eating during the day then really going for it in the evening. Instead I ate small and often and it focussed on things like lettuce, tomato, cucumber, beetroot with a small amount of meat or say scrambled eggs. Maybe give this a go?

Good luck!
