1 week Post-Op appointment today

Yeah! I have officially lost 12 lbs!  Me and the Doc were happy with the results today. I found out that I have the Large AP band ( 14 cc ) with a fill of 4 cc since surgery. I was surprised to hear that. Doc said once I start eating mushies and some more foods of substance that I should notice a fullness. Right now I'm soooo struggling with HUNGER! A lot of it is also just plain ole' HEAD HUNGER...of the worst kind! HAPPY ME! I go back in 5 weeks to get weighed and see if I'm ready for a fill. I'm setting a goal for that appointment...it's the day after my 40th Birthday! I wanna be in Onederland @ 40!  Wish me luck!

Glad to hear you are doing well - congrats on the 12lbs lost so far

You don't get to eat soft foods until 5 weeks?   I think i would die as 24 days has been rough! Good luck and take care! pam

Congratulations and wishing you continued success.
