Congrats!!

Great news MI..... i have been looking for you daily in chat and not seeing ya. Glad you are doing good.

I am three weeks post op tomorrow and feeling a bit disheartened, I weigh in again on Friday but I sneaked a weigh and it seems as though I have put on a kg. Makes me feel anxious and worried. The hunger has come back and I also need to acknowledge that I have been making not fantastic food choices. I have been sticking with the right consistency and portion sizes but I have been making unwise choices thinking that because the portion was small it wouldn't all add up. Makes me scared that I have done all this and now I am stupidly thinking it was going to be easier. I am just having a bit of a freak out, logically though I know that it must work and I can make wise choices and that it will be much easier after my next fill when I am not hungry any more. Just need the strength to undo this damage and I NEED TO FEEL LIKE THIS CAN HAPPEN!!!!! I have been back to the gym this week, monday and today - which is great and good for the mood too. I am sure that this weight is really from last week of my time off (week 2 postop) where I was depressed and sitting on my butt....

Hard to admit to this on here, but you cannot change what you don't acknowlege!

Linling - I am so there with you. I am just over 2 weeks post op and my doc said that I could start gradually adding "regular" food back into my diet and I am worried about the choices I make, too. After all, that is what my problem was before. I too think that b/c I am eating less, it is ok...perhaps it is, but I do want to make good choices, too.

Hang in there, first fills are around the corner.

By the way - I bought a book from Amazon.com called Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery: Over 140 Delicious Low-Fat High-Protein recipes to Enjoy in the Weeks, Months and Years After Surgery. I am hoping to find some good recipes to help me with food choices.
