Hi there,

I am only 4 weeks post op and feeling pretty good but have very very little restriction. I know this is normal but the weight loss has stopped and I can't get a fill for 5 weeks. I have gained and lost the same pound over and over, like a lot of us. What do I do, eat 1200 calories or what. Sorry, just venting a bit. I am happy with my 13 pounds loss but just don't want to gain until I get my fill. I do wait until I am hugry to eat but it is pretty often now.

I go for my first fill tomorrow and, boy, do I need it. I am four weeks post-op and have been able to eat more each day. I have monitored what I eat so I am not gaining. I have actually lost weight since starting mushies but not much. Just a few pounds.

I am nervous and interested to see how it will go tomorrow.

Teri, just know that it may take numerous fills before you get a satisfied level of restriction. A lot of doctors fail to mention this, leaving patients feeling that something is amiss. Good luck with your first fill!

Brad
